37 Dickson Street

Standing proudly on the corner of Dickson and Morehead Streets since 1884, the former Lambton Post and Telegraph Office is arguably the suburb's most recognisable landmark building. Built when Lambton itself was still in its infancy, the grand two-storey structure with basement, speaks to the confidence and prosperity of the township's early years, with its symmetrical façade, repeated arched windows and restrained Victorian Italianate influences giving it a timeless civic presence that still anchors the suburb today. Rich in local history, the building also carries deep community significance, with the Lambton Roll of Honour added to the façade in 1916 by the Lambton Ladies Anzac Club to commemorate local servicemen. Held and operated as Hann Insurance Brokers for almost 30 years, the National Trust-listed property now offers a rare opportunity for a new custodian to write its next chapter. Set on a substantial 714.1sqm R2-zoned parcel, the flexible floorplan opens the door to a range of possibilities, whether reimagined as a remarkable family residence, boutique business premises, or mixed-use lifestyle space (STCA). A three-car garage accessed via Morehead Street, gated grounds and additional off-street parking only add to the versatility. And while the history here runs deep, the lifestyle is thoroughly modern. Lambton's village heart sits just 200m away, making morning coffee runs, pastries from Crumb, local pubs, restaurants and park strolls part of everyday life. Schools, childcare, John Hunter Hospital, McDonald Jones Stadium, the University of Newcastle, beaches and the CBD all remain within easy reach. - 714 sqm north facing block or corner of Morehead Street - 11ft ceilings, pine floors, original timber features, repeated arched windows - Multiple split system air-conditioners throughout - Lambton Public 600m, St John's Primary 280m, Lambton High 1.6km - 5km/11mins Newcastle Interchange, 11km/15mins M1 and Hunter Expressway Disclaimer: We have obtained this property information from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
