Another photograph from my recent visit to Wherwell in Hampshire.
This cottage dates from circa 17th century although the date over the door shows 1516. It was once a farmhouse and creamery but today is a private dwelling. Living somewhere like this must be amazing – peace and quiet in a small village – English cottage living at its best! The River Test runs peacefully through the village and is one the most pristine chalk stream rivers in Britain.
The property is a grade 2 listed building which, quite rightly, gives legal protection from demolition or substantial alteration without the prior approval of the local authority – in this case Test Valley District Council.
