Home of the day: £1,350,000 Yew Tree Farm in Stoke Prior, Worcestershire

Special underground features offer a focal point and an unusual place for storage in this country home, writes Alison Jones

Yew Tree Farm in Stoke Prior, Worcestershire.

There are some very special views in Yew Tree Farm in Stoke Prior, Worcestershire, and they are all straight down.

The recently completed home in Copyholt Lane features a circular well from the original building in the family room/snug and a spectacular round winestore which holds 700 bottles.

Although it is a new build, the exterior style is traditional, with a wealth of weathered oak timber framing with render to the first floor and red brickwork wall with a stonework plinth.

Running costs have been a major consideration and the technology installed includes a ground source heat pump providing zone controlled underfloor heating as well as water harvesting and recycling.

In addition to the main house there are block outbuildings, garaging and stabling providing scope for a variety of agricultural or workshop activities. In addition paddocks and a sizeable manège are ideal for equestrian pursuits.

The house is entered via a highly glazed oak framed entrance hall with access to the circular glass covered wine cellar. There is also a guest cloakroom.

At the front is a formal sitting room with deep inglenook fireplace surrounding an Aga wood-burning stove. A dining room with polished oak flooring is ideal for formal occasions.

The oak framed sash windows in the reception and bedrooms are finished with hinged adjustable shutters.
