Hunter Valley summers
Cessnock sits inland from the coast and runs hotter than Newcastle by several degrees on summer afternoons, which usually means a size up from what a coastal home needs.
Large blocks, easy installs
Detached homes on generous blocks keep pipe runs short and access simple, which keeps labour down compared with the Newcastle terraces.
