Former gatehouse of Great Testwood House

The Grade II listed gatehouse stands at one portal of an ovoid driveway. When we were children the vestiges of the lower walls of the big house were visible, due north of this building. However my father, who knew the area before WW2, says that the house was demolished well before that war. The gatehouse is mid to late 18th C, possibly by Capability Brown. It has English Heritage Building ID: 462918. See also: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-462918-great-testwood-lodge-90-totton-and-eling
