Annie's Hillhouse - Kilmore
Who doesn't love the countryside. The rolling hills, farmland, quaint country pubs and the old houses that have seen it all! Walt Collins is bringing season 2 of Country House Facelift to life, renovating a stunning 115 year old homestead in Kilmore, Victoria. Sitting on the top of a hill, overlooking the township and the dramatic ranges, lies Annie's Hillhouse. A weatherboard home once built by a farming family. Over the years it has been a proud family home and despite years of neglect, squatters, termites and almost ruin- the home still stands.
Now, it has been given a new lease of life and transformed into a modern country home with a sleek interior design, a total revamp of the interior and all the comforts of a modern Australian country home.
​
