• A pillar used to be located near the front door, until late 1999, when it was cut down to half its original size without on-screen explanation. The bar located by the bookshelf during the Scully's residence was previously seen in Number 24, when owned by Lou Carpenter in the early 1990s.

• Number 26's kitchen has shrunk in recent years. When redecorated in 1998, the shelving section behind the dining table was reduced in width.

• In 1999, the Millennium night fire in the kitchen was contrived to cover the fact that the set was replaced with a replica. The original is now housed in the Melbourne Museum. Visitors can take photographs on the set and and open the fridge to see Scott and Charlene's wedding cake! Numerous cast autographs adorn the backs of the walls.

• This house was owned by Jim Robinson until his death in 1993. His will then stipulated that it was to be taken over by his mother-in-law Helen Daniels, until her death. It would then be divided up between four of his children; Glen, Scott, Paul and Lucy. However, Jim's son-in-law Philip Martin seemed to take over the house at some point not mentioned on-screen, as he was able to sell it to the Scully family in 1999. In 2006, Lyn Scully was forced to sell the house to cover legal bills, and it was bought by Loris Timmins, who gave it to her daughter-in-law Janelle as a peace offering. When the Timmins moved up north in 2007, Janelle's daughter Janae stayed and let her boyfriend Ned Parker and his family move in. In 2008 Janelle decided to sell the house and at first it was going to be sold at a reduced price to Janae, Ned, his brother Steve and his wife Miranda. However, Steve and Miranda were unsure that they wanted to invest their money on the basis of Ned and Janae's volatile relationship and in the end, the young couple split and the house was put up for auction. Steve Parker won the auction by bidding $600,000. He outbid Tim Collins, who was hoping to demolish the house for flats, as well as Marco Silvani and Carmella Cammeniti. In 2009, following the death of their daughter, Bridget, Steve & Miranda left the street, putting the house on the market shortly after. Spotting the sale sign going up, the recently returned Lyn Scully convinced her daughter Steph to buy their old family home, which she got at a bargain price after only a day on the market.

• When the series moved to Network Ten in 1986, the old Channel Seven sets had been destroyed, so many of the sets, including number 26, were recreated with new decor. The house took on a new look in 1992, with no on-screen explanation. In 1995, Helen mentioned that Philip would be redecorating and a week later, the new house was unveiled with a dark green colour scheme. It was changed again in 1999 soon after the Martin and Wilkinson families became one. The Scully family lived for several years with the old scheme, but in 2004, they took part in Making Mansions, a reality show which saw their home revamped with a new modern look.

Floor Plan

Please note: Due to studio and production constraints, alterations are often made to the layout of rooms/sets. Thus, the above illustration is intended as a plan based on the architecture of the actual houses on Pin Oak Court, and the various replicated interior layouts that have appeared on-screen over the years.
