There’s also a burgeoning market for pet property, covering everything from hen houses worthy of Louis XIV, to designer dog houses and Modernist mansions for the most high-minded moggies. So if you, or your pet, are on the market for something special, read on….

The Versailles of hen houses

Let your chickens spread their wings, and move into a home worthy of French royalty.

£349.99
You’ve already invested in a mid-century Modern sofa, but have you got the birdhouse to match?

Co-living for birds and fish

Price on request
Co-living isn’t just for humans, and in this hybrid birdcage-aquarium, designed by Constance Guisset, fish and fowl can co-habit in harmony.
