This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 'Bishopscourt,' built circa 1929, is an exceptionally rare gem offering a combination of space, views, and potential that's almost impossible to find. Spanning over one acre (4130sqm approx) of prime land in prestigious The Hill, the property stands as the largest single residential holding in the area. Oriented to the north, this estate captures magnificent views over the city's heart, the harbour, Stockton Beach, and iconic Nobbys Headland. It's a superb view that can never be built out. Designed by renowned local architects FG & AC Castledon, who were also behind landmarks like the Newcastle Morning Herald building, the Ocean Baths, and Scott's Store, this home was originally crafted as the residence for Newcastle's Anglican Bishops. The charm is unmistakable, with rich timber floors, intricate wood panelling, a grand staircase, soaring ceilings, and large arched windows adorned with elegant leadlight detailing. Inside, the floorplan is as versatile as it is grand, featuring expansive living areas, seven generously sized bedrooms, and four bathrooms. Whether you're seeking a family haven or the potential to transform certain spaces to suit your lifestyle, Bishopscourt provides endless possibilities. Outside, the sprawling grounds offer their own sense of seclusion, perfect for enjoying the breathtaking views or hosting large gatherings in privacy. With a circular driveway, double garage, and even a chapel on the property, every inch of this estate exudes exclusivity. Perfectly positioned amidst the city's beautiful beaches, coastal walks, and vibrant shopping and dining scenes, 'Bishopscourt' is a property unlike any other, waiting for the next chapter of its remarkable story to unfold. - R3 Medium Density zoning - Lapsed DA for a pool, state of the art underground new garage, cellar and extension - Landscape design by highly regarded landscape designer, Michael Cooke - Updated a/c, security cameras - Subject to some local heritage constraints - Newcastle East Public School – 110m, Newcastle Grammar – 500m, Newcastle Interchange – 3km Outgoings: Water: *$818pa + usage Council: *$5,556pa * approximates only (We have obtained all information used in the preparation of this document from third party sources however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or currency of this information.
