49 Newcastle Street, East Maitland

Circa 1837, Englefield is one of East Maitland's most historic properties, presenting a rare opportunity for you to secure a grand residence with endless potential.

The seven-bedroom Georgian residence was built by one of the Hunters pioneer entrepreneurs - John Smith and is set on an expansive 2,228sqm block across four titles.

Plenty of opportunity to capitalise on the fantastic position with a previous Tourism DA for B&B accommodation and huge potential to transform the residence back to it's former glory.

Inside the landmark residence, several rooms, especially the modern open-plan kitchen, are still in excellent condition. Nothing can take away from this very special home's eight fireplaces, grand cedar staircase and sandstone cellar.

There is also a separate self-contained studio, or guest retreat, with attached garage and a separate carport. The property is surrounded by leafy gardens, which boast flowers and a small orchard as old as the home itself.
