A grand five-acre estate with a Georgian mansion dating back to the 1830s has returned to the market in Maitland.

The Regents Park at 23-25 Regent Street is listed for sale by expressions of interest with Cain Beckett at Jurds Real Estate.

The Georgian mansion dates back to the 1830s. Picture supplied

The property has a price guide of $3.5 million.

Mr Beckett oversaw the sale of the sprawling estate when it last sold in December 2017 for $1.7 million.

The house is surrounded by manicured gardens. Picture supplied

The stately residence operates as a boutique accommodation venue, The Regents Park.

Built for a judge and originally part of a 1000-acre estate, the restored circa 1830 property includes a six-bedroom mansion and an original coachman's quarters converted into a guesthouse.

The conservatory has a soaring glass ceiling. Picture supplied

Mr Beckett described the home as one of the finest in NSW.

A modest Georgian portico and electric iron gates hide what is a stately home of much grander proportions.
