Pitchford Hall, United Kingdom
From series “Ubelievable Residential Houses Residing on Trees”
Another original tree house is to be found in the British village of Pitchford, on the grounds of the ancient estate of Pitchford Hall. The estate was built in the second half of the 16th century and has been rebuilt many times over the long history of its existence. At the end of the 19th century the complex of buildings was significantly expanded. The exact date of construction of a small house on a tree remains for certain unknown. It was built of wood in general for the manor style. The tree on which the building is located, in itself is an outstanding landmark. The age of sprawling linden is estimated to be about 900 years.
