Matt Baker has long been a regular on our screens. From his early Blue Peter days to The One Show, plus a successful stint on Strictly, the TV presenter is a familiar face to many.
These days, the TV star is best known for presenting Our Dream Farm where seven shortlisted hopefuls compete for a ten-year farm tenancy on 340 acres of National Trust land.
Matt is more than qualified to host the show since he grew up on his parents’ farm in Durham and now lives in his own impressive farmhouse in the country.
And it seems the former Blue Peter presenter and his wife Nicola are passing their passion down to their two children, Luke and Molly.

The family of four reside at a stunning farmhouse in Hertfordshire part of the Chilterns, where they have livestock including chicken, sheep, dogs and more.
Matt has a set of concrete steps leading up to his wooden back door. The home has a light brick exterior, in keeping with the country feel.

The room embraces the country theme through its décor, including framed bird artwork hanging on the walls and cushions embroidered with pheasants.

Matt shared that he uses a turntable record player that once belonged to his granddad to regularly play old vinyl records.
This photo shared on his Instagram shows how stylish the vinyl player is, and we love that he was playing some Steps while filming.

The star showed a photo of his kids working hard at home while their schools were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The duo were working at the dining table and, in the background, we can see the room has a log-burning fire and sofas, with a green bookcase positioned against one wall.
Matt previously shared a look at the renovations he had been undertaking in the outdoor barn of the property.
The TV star could be seen ripping down a wall made of wooden panels, while his daughter Molly filmed his progress.

Posting a photo of the animal standing inside his house, Matt explained he was sent the picture by his daughter.
We imagine it gave him quite the shock.
