Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 09:48 · Archive

Amanda Owen says her family has not decided who will live at the restored Anty John's farmhouse despite moving belongings in.

Amanda Owen has revealed her family has not yet decided who will live at Anty John's, the centuries-old farmhouse near Ravenseat in Swaledale that they have spent three years restoring. The property, which is the centrepiece of the television series Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids, is now advanced enough that the family has begun moving belongings in and spending time there.

Despite being repeatedly described as the family's new home, Owen admitted there is currently no firm plan for which members of the family will eventually move in. She told an audience at Everyman Northallerton on 30 September: 'It's not been decided yet about who will live at Anty John's. We've taken up loads in the Land Rover and moved some stuff in, but we still don't fully know who is going to live there.'

The uncertainty stems from the changing directions of Owen and her former husband Clive's nine children. Owen said some of the siblings are interested in university, some are developing companies or running businesses, and others want to continue farming. She noted that 'with some kids wanting to go to university, some starting their lives elsewhere and others wanting to farm, we're unsure of people's futures.'
