The OG queen of craft, who was dishing out home hacks decades before Instagram was invented, has decided to sell her historic house. SEE INSIDE.

TV chef Iain Hewitson & TV personality Tonia Todman from TV show “Healthy, Wealthy & Wise”.

The couple purchased their 4.05ha farm, a seven-minute drive from the heart of Kyneton, in 2004. The original homestead was built in the 1840s and extended in 1910.The property spans over 4 hectares.“It was on the market for 18 months, as every viewer was frightened by the amount of work it needed,” she said.

However, the couple transformed the five-bedroom home into a “very happy house” with English-style gardens where Todman ran cooking, craft and gardening classes.A 2018 fire partially burned down the house after the old roof shingles heated up near a chimney, leading to “four years of anguish” in an extensive rebuilding effort.The pair used salvaged materials from the homestead, including chimney bricks on the herringbone floor and bluestone behind two fireplaces.

“I said to my architect, if he didn’t give me a proper workable laundry, I’d never speak to him again,” Todman joked.
