20 Church Street, Newcastle NSW 2300

Built in the 1890s by Robert Buchanan, who served as the Mayor of Newcastle during 1888 and 1889, these 11 Victorian terraces were later known as 'Barristers' Row', as they were mainly occupied as legal chambers positioned directly across the road from the Newcastle Court House. Buchanan resided at this four-level residence and the property still bears his name today.

With solid bones and an enviable location, this grand terrace retains its quintessential Victorian good looks. 12ft ceilings on the ground floor, an elegant hallway arch, timber floors and picture rails along with a lacework verandah and pressed metal ceilings upstairs all add hallmark charm and character.

Although you could love this residence just the way it is, it's clear to see the potential for some modern updates. R4 High Density residential or suitable business use, allowing you to run your office from here, set up an allied health practice or consultancy rooms, or perhaps return it to a bed and breakfast as it once was.

This is a superb lifestyle location with everything you need within walking distance, including Newcastle Beach, the fabulous Ocean Baths and Bogey Hole, Newcastle Harbour, and the stunning King Edward Park. Stroll to Good Brother or Bolton Street Pantry for your morning coffee, enjoy lunch or dinner at a choice of fabulous cafes and restaurants, jump on the light rail to the west end and grab your groceries from the new Woolies Metro. Teaching staff at Newcastle Grammar and Nihon University will love the easy stroll to work from this fabulous address.
