Amanda Owen and her family have spent years transforming a derelict farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales into a home for future generations.
What began as a neglected historic building has gradually taken shape through years of hard work, unpredictable weather and the combined efforts of the Owen family and local tradespeople.
Now, with the fourth series airing in October 2026, viewers are seeing some of the biggest changes yet.
What did Anty John's look like before the renovation?
Anty John's, also known as High Smith Holme, is a historic farmhouse situated in the remote landscape of Swaledale.
When the Owen family began their restoration project, the property needed extensive work before it could become a comfortable family home.
Its exposed position and historic construction presented particular challenges.

Rather than simply replacing everything with modern materials, the family set out to restore the building while preserving its traditional Yorkshire Dales character.
The project has required considerable patience, specialist skills and help from local craftspeople.
How has Amanda Owen transformed Anty John's?
Early work concentrated on making the building suitable for its new purpose and tackling the challenges of renovating an old property in a remote location.
By the fourth series, significant progress had been made inside.
Amanda and son Miles began painting walls after the newly plastered surfaces had finally dried.
Carpenters also worked on laying oak floorboards, while the family continued planning how the interior rooms would be used.
The changes mark an important stage in turning Anty John's from a building site into a family home.
What does Anty John's look like in 2026?
The latest episodes reveal a property beginning to take on the appearance of a lived-in home.
The fourth series follows work on the upstairs accommodation, including the creation of individual rooms.
The family has also been considering interior furnishings and how to make the restored farmhouse practical for everyday life.
In the series finale, scheduled for November 2, Amanda and the girls are set to spend their first night at the property.
The family will also be seen moving furniture collected over the years into the house.
For viewers who remember the farmhouse at the beginning of the restoration, it promises to be a significant milestone.
Why did Amanda Owen buy Anty John's?
The renovation is about more than creating another home.
Amanda has previously explained that she wants to provide security and opportunities for her nine children.
The family has spent many years farming at Ravenseat, which is a tenanted property.
Owning Anty John's offers something different: a property that could provide a long-term base for members of the family.
Amanda has said she does not know exactly which of her children will eventually live there.
Will Amanda Owen move into Anty John's?
Although the restoration is progressing, the family's long-term living arrangements have not been fully established publicly.
Amanda has previously explained that several members of the family are interested in living at the property.
The fourth series offers viewers a closer look at how the building is progressing, but the question of who will ultimately make it their permanent home remains part of the family's evolving story.
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids continues on More4, with episodes also available to stream on Channel 4.
