I believe the answer is:

avenue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'traditional approach to country houses' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'hail recent broadcast for' is the wordplay.
'hail' becomes 'ave' (greeting in Latin).
'recent' becomes 'new' (similar in meaning).
'broadcast' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (how the word might sound on the radio or TV).
'for' becomes 'e' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'new' is a homophone of 'nu'.
'ave'+'nu'+'e'='AVENUE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avenue that I've seen before include "Road lined with trees" , "Tee-lined road" , "Wide and handsome street" , "Road leading to a house" , "A broad thoroughfare as in New York" .)
