The shepherdess, 50, and former husband Clive have been restoring a permanent residence for their nine children: Raven, Reuben, Miles, Edith, Violet, Sidney, Annas, Clementine, and Nancy.

The farmhouse, known as Anty John's, had been abandoned for several years and Amanda acquired ownership of the property in March 2020 with aspirations of handing it down to their large family.

Yet it hasn't been a straightforward process as the house, which sits nearRavenseat Farm, requires extensive work before they can relocate.

The television personality turned to social media to provide followers with a much-needed progress report on the renovation as she confessed the housing project has brought considerable "pressure"

Sharing on her Instagram, Amanda posted a photograph leaning against one of her horses and wrote: "The Summer holidays continue, reports Gloucestershire Live.

"And finally we have got our hay made and the main part of our sheep clipped. Still some strays to round up so never can truly say that they're all done."

The Channel 4 personality acknowledged: "The renovations of Anty Johns #ourfarmnextdoor continues and with that comes the pressure of setting too and making the critical decisions that are part and parcel of this huge undertaking."

She added: "So I have had a lot on my plate these last few weeks and finally took some time to enjoy what is easy to take for granted. What surrounds me, the countryside, land, stock and people. And horses And horses, And horses."

Viewers will witness the transformation unfold on screen as Channel Four has officially greenlit the continuation of the family's television programme, Our Farm Next Door.

The reality renovation programme has secured commissioning for two additional series on More4.

In the third and fourth instalments of Our Farm Next Door, cameras document the Owen clan as they tackle their massive interior overhaul, mapping out layouts and designs whilst fitting plumbing and water systems.

The programme also chronicles the everyday agricultural existence of Amanda, her former spouse Clive and their nine fast-growing offspring in the isolated Yorkshire Dales.

Writing a heartfelt message to supporters, Amanda said: "I am beyond delighted that we have been given the opportunity to showcase this unique and beautiful part of our British countryside."

She continued: "And for people to join us on our exciting journey through the restoration of our farm next door.

"We're grateful for Channel 4's support and the effort and utter dedication of the film crew who have had to work in challenging weather conditions, coupled with the unimaginable chaos of both children and animals. This is a programme that I am seriously proud of."
