Annie's Hillhouse - Kilmore

Set high on a hill overlooking the historic township of Kilmore, Victoria, Country House Facelift returns for an all-new season as television host and home expert Walt Collins takes on the ambitious restoration of a remarkable 115-year-old weatherboard home.

 

One of Victoria's oldest inland towns, Kilmore provides the perfect backdrop for a renovation that respects the area's rich heritage while embracing the way Australians want to live today. From hidden structural surprises to carefully preserving the home's original character, every episode reveals the challenges, triumphs and craftsmanship behind breathing new life into a piece of local history.

 

Working alongside his partner Tyson, an outstanding team of designers, builders and skilled trades, Walt transforms the tired country residence into a sophisticated modern home where timeless architecture meets sleek contemporary design. Expect stunning interiors, innovative products, clever renovation ideas and plenty of unexpected moments along the way.
