Our Yorkshire Farm stars Clive and Amanda Owen have finally received planning permission to renovate their home. The stars of the much-loved Channel 5 series bought High Smithy Holme back in 2020, which is a remote farmhouse in the Swaledale parish of Muker. Clive, 67, and Amanda, 47, have faced a two-year battle to obtain permission from planning officers to turn the derelict cottage into a two-bedroom house, The Daily Star reports.
High Smithy Holme, which is close to their famous sheep farm Ravenseat, dates back to the early 18th century and has stood empty for almost 60 years.The couple are set to start work on the farmhouse after they were given permission from The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, who were supportive of the farm being brought back to life. Due to the historic nature of the building, Clive and Amanda will have to stick to some conditions when it comes to renovation work. Such conditions include keeping bat boxes that have been installed on a sycamore tree in the grounds of the farmhouse.
But planning officers said that the plans for the farmhouse “struck a good balance” between preserving the ancient building and bringing it up to modern living standards. The floor plan for the new property reveals a living room, a kitchen area, and a lounge in an area that once housed a stable.There are also two bedrooms upstairs, as well as a utility and shower room. However it’s unlikely that the property will be for family use, as it will be a bit on the snug side for the Owen family of 11 to call home.
