Cottage by the River *
This lovely cottage stands by the River Test in the village of Wherwell in Hampshire and looks as if it has recently been rethatched. It has been a grade 2 listed building since 1984 and its construction dates from the late 18th century. It is positioned at right angles to the road with a door almost on the river bank.
The River Test is a chalk stream which rises near Basingstoke and flows into Southampton Water some 40 miles away. It featured in the Richard Adams novel Watership Down and is famous for trout fishing. It has one the richest flora and fauna of any lowland river in England and much of it is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
