Selling Houses Australia host Andrew Winter: Inside my Gold Coast home renovations
Selling Houses Australia host Andrew Winter has revealed the outcome of his own renovation labours at his Gold Coast home.
The English-born presenter revealed that the home took one year to complete – with his family living across the road from the property.
As an expert in assessing properties both inside and out on his show, Andrew told News Corp that this renovation focused on the exterior spaces.
“We’ve never quite spent so much time focusing on the outside areas,” Andrew explained.
The host revealed that he was drawn to the property because it has a pool in the centre of the house, rather than the backyard, which would allow him to experiment with design possibilities.
“Every single bedroom has direct access to the courtyard and pool so it’s really unusual in that respect,” he said.
While they left much of the interior layout unchanged, Andrew said he pushed the boundaries with features such as a black kitchen ceiling and a marble-look entry door.
“It's a solid door but it's cut in porcelain,” Andrew said.
“We were trying to push a few boundaries.”
This weekend, Andrew Winter will attend the 60th Logies Awards in the Gold Coast, where he has been nominated for the Gold Logie. Andrew is up against Love Child’s Jessica Marais, A Current Affair’s Tracy Grimshaw, Family Feud’s Grant Denyer and Doctor Doctor’s Rodger Corser.
Andrew is also in the running for the Most Popular Presenter award alongside Carrie Bickmore, Amanda Keller, Grant Denyer and Tracy Grimshaw.
Unfortunately, Andrew Winter missed the Logies nomination festivities as he suffered a bout of Bell’s Palsy.
“I was shocked to see that my eye was watering for some unknown reason, I then looked in the mirror and saw that my eyelid was closed on one side – like I was winking to myself,” Andrew told TV Week.
He revealed that the doctors dismissed the “scary stuff” and diagnosed him with the condition, which causes temporary weakness or paralysis to the muscles on one side of the face.
