With an outdoor bathtub on its balcony, and a wood-burning stove, proper kitchen and stylish Scandi-style furniture inside, the sleek design of the Périgord treehouse in the Test Valley is far removed from the plank-and-nails treehouses of my childhood.
Designed by master craftsman Will Hardy, the Périgord is one of four new ultra-high-spec woodland cabins on stilts adjacent to the Hampshire vineyards of English sparkling wine producer Black Chalk. Book one and you’ll find a complimentary bottle of the superb Black Chalk chilling in the fridge, ready to sip amid clouds of mist in that bathtub as the sun falls over the English countryside.
