Before the move north, Wenham, his wife Kate Agnew and their two children were long-time residents of Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
The Australian actor, who rose to fame playing Diver Dan in the ABC drama SeaChange, sold his four-bedroom apartment in Potts Point for $5.755million in February.
His new home in Brisbane boasts a classic ‘Queenslander’ style, as well as lush gardens and plenty of outdoor space for entertaining.
The ornate high ceilings and open-plan design give the interiors a light and airy feel.
