The kitchen has had a substantial makeover.


Sewell has also worked as a commentator for Channel 7.

His 63 Cochrane St, Brighton, home, which records show is in the name of his wife Louise Smith, has been renovated by award-winning architects Techne, giving the 1940s build an impressive new look.

The 688sq m property is meticulously appointed, with striking garden spaces that at the rear centre on a horseshoe-style pool and spa that wraps around the home’s rear living zone.

In a nod to its early days, a sunken lounge abuts the swimming spot and sits below the waterline for an eye-catching visual effect.
