Former Lambton Police Station & Lock-up, Large Block with R2 Zoning

Auction Location: On Site

Built in 1884, the former Lambton Police Station and lock-up stands as a reminder of Newcastle’s early civic architecture. The residence, office and cell provides a rare opportunity to reimagine a 1533sqm landholding steeped in local history.

Zoned R2 Low Density Residential with an approximate 49m frontage and holding local heritage significance, the site invites big-picture thinking. Restore the original sandstone structure and create a character-rich residence or explore the potential for subdivision or development (STCA), following the lead of nearby modern townhouses and duplex builds.

Just 300m to Lambton Park and Elder Street’s cafes, shops and everyday essentials, the location is as convenient as it is community focused.

Whether you’re a heritage enthusiast, visionary renovator, or developer with an eye for value, this blank canvas awaits.
