The Brow is a beautiful Georgian house in Overton-on-Dee. The origins of the house date back to the 16th Century with the more recent additions in the 1820s added to capitalise on the outstanding views across the River Dee valley.
The house was home to Charles Darwin’s sister, Marianne Parker, and Charles spent many weekends and holidays at The Brow. Charles entrusted his dog to Marianne when he left on the Beagle, but it unfortunately died and was buried in the garden.
The house itself is situated on the edge of the village with 5 minutes walk to the corner shop and local pub in one direction, and walking straight into the countryside from the other direction. There are 5 acres of gardens, including an ‘edible forest’ and kitchen garden with plentiful fresh fruit and vegetables available and free to pick all summer (asparagus, plums, apples, pears, quince, figs, tomatoes, leeks etc). When the weather permits, there is an outside seating area for up to 20 people overlooking the Dee valley. The two lawns are ideal for croquet, football, cricket and kick the can.
There are seven bedrooms: six double rooms (3 with double beds and en suite bathrooms, three further twin rooms), and one small single room. There is a large open plan ‘farmhouse’ style kitchen with an Aga, a traditional dining room that seats up to 16 people, a traditional drawing room with a Bechstein grand piano and open fireplace, a snug TV room with a wood-burner and a second TV room in what was the old library. A further old kitchen has all necessary washing and drying facilities. There is a table tennis room in the old arched cellar. The house is full of rustic charm.
Dogs are welcome and will enjoy the walks from the house. There is no smoking in the house.
Additional facilities in the village include a playground, a tennis centre, bowls green, library and two pubs. The village shop stocks all the basic needs and can be contacted in advance for any specific requests. Delicious, locally baked bread is available, and fresh, award-winning local meat and vegetables can be purchased from the butcher opposite or one of the farm shops: Home Farm (2 mins drive) or Lewis’ Farm Shop (5 mins drive). There are three large supermarkets in Wrexham, the local town, ten minutes drive away, with free delivery if ordered online in advance. All the basics, eg salt and pepper, will be provided.
