What plumbing in Wherwell actually looks like

Located in the Test Valley south of Andover, Wherwell is famed for its historic thatched timber-framed cottages, timber bridges, and waterside country residences across SP11.

The chalk geology produces hard water, leading to rapid scale accumulation on heating components. Given the proximity to the River Test and local chalk streams, managing external drainage, soakaways, and seasonal groundwater levels is essential.
