Farmhouse near water's edge

Believed to be ‘Swan Nest House’, a farmhouse behind what is now known as Willy Lott’s House, part of the Valley Farm estate: a house near the water’s edge: the house enclosed by trees, a boat near the bank of the river near the foreground, reeds and wooded banks further on.
