Yew Tree Farm is set amid the Sussex Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty around half a mile from the village of Westfield, which offers a good range of local amenities, primary school and Post Office.

The much larger coastal town of Hastings is 4 miles away and the historic town of Battle 3½ miles away offering a variety of retail and convenience stores plus a range of independent shops, cafes and both primary and secondary schools. The main A21 is within 1½ miles of the property and offers direct transport links to Hastings in the south and to the M25 30 miles and London to the north.

DESCRIPTION:

Established in 1971 and continuously managed under the same ownership, the vineyard is situated on gently sloping, south-facing land. It is planted with a mix of Reichensteiner, Gutenborner, Schönburger, Ortega, Dornfelder, and Bacchus, alongside the classic Champagne varieties-Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay.

In 1983, the estate produced England's first commercially available traditional method sparkling wine, benefiting from the favourable climate, an elevation of approximately 40 metres above sea level, and clay loam soils. The site is naturally sheltered by Hastings Ridge to the south. Over the years, the estate has gained recognition, earning over 150 awards in international competitions.
Yew Tree Farm is accessed from Wheel Lane and comprises a principle three bedroom house, with an adjoining two bedroom annex, and a range of former stable buildings which have been converted to house the winery and bonded storage.

The ringfenced estate extends to approximately 21 acres in total, including the farm and a walled garden, with c.17 acres currently under vine. Approximately 8 acres were replanted in 2010 with Pinot, Pinot Blanc and Bacchus grape varieties.

The Company operates an onsite shop and café, which is used to accommodate customers with seasonal vineyard tours being operated throughout the summer months.

There are numerous growth opportunities including the construction of a new visitor centre/restaurant and winery, allowing for the expansion of the existing operations. Planning consent was previously granted in 2008 for the redevelopment of the existing winery with ancillary shop, office, tasting rooms, restaurant and exhibition space, in addition to the enlargement of the bonded storage, although this permission has now lapsed.
