Cottage Living *

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.

Grateful thanks to everyone who has looked at my photostream and commented and/or faved this photograph. Your interest is very much appreciated.

 

Most important of all, continue to keep safe during these increasingly uncertain times!
