…you’re sure to find some special houses that make the most of natural woodland outside or feature timber inside. Here’s our pick of some tree-mendous homes.
ANCIENT BEAUTY
YATES Farm, in Binfield, near Ascot, is a substantial country house, set in 11 acres of grounds, six of which are ancient woodland. These are situated on the opposite side of the lane and bordered on one side by a stream. What’s more, there’s also has a timber framed Grade II listed threshing barn with planning permission for conversion.
The farmhouse itself has been extended and improved over the years to provide excellent living and entertaining space, with views over open fields to the rear. The beautifully presented accommodation boasts a wealth of original and interesting features and is ideal for both family living and entertaining, complemented by the sun room with its glass roof and the adjoining indoor pool with a sauna and a shower room.
WOODLAND TRAILS
Located on the outskirts of Wokingham, this beautiful detached residence sits on a stunning, private plot, approaching six acres. The woodland surrounding the landscaped gardens offers a number of trails, a pond and numerous recreation areas.
