Amanda Owen is struggling with renovation problems – fans are disappointed!

The final episode of the series Our Farm Next Door, in which Amanda and Clive Owen document the challenges of country living and renovating their new family home, Anty John's, aired last night. Amanda Owen emphasizes that despite significant progress in the renovation, there is still a lot of work ahead for the family. The episode showed the construction site images of the renovation, with the final text “To Be continued…” at the end. This unexpected twist has left fans with mixed feelings, who are disappointed with the series ending but excited about the new format with Matt Baker taking up Tuesday's 9pm time slot on More4. Baker will explore Kent and meet interesting local characters in his new show British Isles.

The series documents not only the progress of renovating Anty John's, which Amanda Owen bought with her ex-husband Clive and their nine children, but also the many challenges the family faces. Amanda describes the construction work as a realization of her dreams, but there are significant difficulties. The family has to deal with construction defects as the house has been unoccupied for many years and is in need of a complete renovation, including a new roof. Regular customers know that the weather is also hindering progress this year. Amanda has repeatedly expressed her frustration that work is progressing more slowly than planned, which she finds "helpless".

Challenges when renovating

In the latest episode of Our Farm Next Door, Amanda describes the complications of accessing the site and the terrible weather conditions. Her ex-husband Clive also raises concerns, particularly about the demands during lambing season. Lead farmer Richard has noted that the lambing season in April could further delay construction activities as workers will often be busy with other tasks on the farm. These are some of the specific challenges that can arise when renovating an old farmhouse.

Renovating a historic farmhouse is no easy task. According to the information from leben-und-finanzieren.de, it is important to fully examine the need for renovation before purchasing the farmhouse. Historic buildings require special expertise and the right measures to both preserve the historical charm and create modern living comfort. Energy costs and necessary renovations can be significant and it makes sense to draw up a cost plan beforehand.

Next Steps

However, the Owen family remains optimistic that they can achieve their renovation dreams despite the delays. Amanda and Clive, who reunited for their new farming challenge in 2021 following the end of their 22-year marriage, appear determined to turn Anty John's into a permanent home for their children.

In summary, the second season of “Our Farm Next Door” not only provided exciting insights into the renovation work, but also revealed the potential for an exciting sequel on All4. However, with Matt Baker's new show, viewers are already in for another interesting format.
