The pair – who are parents to six children – have ‘outgrown’ the listed historic pad – which is a Victorian mansion with a contemporary extension, News.com.au reports.
‘We’ve outgrown it,’ Shannon told the publication about the five bedroom, four bathroom house in South Yarra.
‘It’s a great place,’ he added, confirming the family are relocating to nearby suburb Toorak.

‘For anyone with multiple children, it’s all about the lists,’ Madeleine said.
‘I keep hundreds of post-it notes all over the house. To-do lists, appointments, long-term goals, the kids’ schedules on blackboards around the house – you name it! There’s nothing more satisfying than ticking something off a list.’
And as for how she manages and keeps up with such a brood of children, she said she gets up early and prepares dinner.
‘Get the dinner ready before they all get up, even if it means getting up at 5am, pack their lunchboxes the day before, have a separate bookshelf for school library books and make the beds before you leave the house,’ she said.
That may sound mad, but for me it’s all about finding that small moment of harmony amidst the chaos.
‘If you return home from the school drop off and all the beds aren’t made, that will automatically ruin your harmony.’
