House Rules' Maddi and Lloyd list renovated house

Townsville's Maddi and Lloyd, contestants on Channel 7's House Rules, are auctioning their house.

They paid $372,000 for the four bedroom house in 2013. It came with significant damage including rot, mould, uneven floors and a barely useable kitchen.

Since then, the house at 59 Wackett Street, Pallarenda, has undergone some dubious televised renovations thanks to the couple's fellow contestants. Melbourne couple Adam and Lisa, earned a 10 out of 10 score for their makeover of the Townsville house's kitchen. They later went on to win the show.

The couple feature prominently in the property's marketing campaign, appearing in a video describing the house.

When given the opportunity, Maddi and Lloyd removed some of the more eccentric elements installed on the show, including the hessian ceiling Tasmanians Brooke and Grant applied in the master bedroom.

There is bamboo flooring throughout the house, with cathedral ceilings in the central open plan kitchen, living and dining area. The tropical home has louvre windows and bi-fold doors opening onto a wraparound deck that can be accessed from the kitchen and two of its three bedrooms.

Part of the deck overlooks the in-ground swimming pool.

The home, selling through Keyes & Co Property Townsville, is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, backing onto a reserve. Buyers will have the option of purchasing the home empty or fully furnished.

Maddi told The Courier Mail that the couple will be moving to begin a family.

"We have made the decision to move to Cairns, it's where Lloyd's family lives," Maddi said.

"We're looking at having kids sooner rather than later, so it's important to us to be near family."

They are not the first couple from this year's House Rules to put their home on the market. Ryan Pusic and Candy Stuart sold their renovated Emu Plains home for $590,000 in August. Western Australian couple Carole and Russell were also seeking to offload their Boya home, though it did not seem to appear on any major listing websites. Instead, it appears the couple may just have sold the property as they bought it – without an agent, through Gumtree.

Maddi and Lloyd's house will be auctioned on 6 December.
