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.
Overton-on-Dee is situated in Wales on the border with England. It is approximately 1 hour drive from Liverpool, 1¼ hours from both Manchester and Birmingham, and 35 minutes from Chester and Shrewsbury. To the East lie the Cheshire plains, and West is Snowdonia. The stunning town of Llangollen in the foothills of the Welsh mountains is 20 minutes drive with outstanding walks, activities such as canoeing or white water rafting on the River Dee, quirky second hand shops and the Corn Mill pub. Mount Snowdon itself around 1½ hours drive through the stunning Welsh Cambrian mountain range, accessible to climb in a day, as well as Surf Snowdonia, Bounce Below and Zip wires.
If requested well in advance, fishing on the River Dee can be arranged. Also, a local historian can be booked for guided tours to Roman Chester, the famous Shrewsbury battlefield sites, Chirk castle and other stately homes (a list of the options can be provided – some places are open to the public, others can be arranged for personalised tours).

Summary: Our extended family of 14 were entranced by this wonderful house and its extensive grounds. The young children loved exploring in the orchard, picking a few cherries, bouncing on the safe (!) trampoline. And the games room with kicker football, lego, and puzzles and games! The bedrooms were extremely comfortable with AMAZING views. The ensuite bathrooms were a delight. We all loved the stylish kitchen. Fridge & freezer large enough for our needs. For meals, we used not only the lovely regency dining room, but more often the terrace, with endless views, regaled with birdsong. The drawing room has a Bechstein grand piano which we loved. The sitting room was perfect for chatting & reading in its comfy chairs & sofa. The entire house is filled with books - in every room, in every passage! WHAT could be nicer? And so much to see and do in the surrounding area! This was possibly our most thoroughly happy holiday!

Summary: Fantastic property for our family reunion. Great historic home that was easy to settle into. Warm and cosy rooms with great bed linens and towels provided. Would highly recommend to other groups
Karen S. May 19, 2025 05:59:19 PM
Summary: The house had plenty of space for our family to be together. We loved the croquet and other outdoor games. The house was clean and kitchen well kitted out. The only thing was the bbq was broken which was a shame. Fab outside space. Very interesting property with all its history.

Summary: We had a lovely time in this beautiful house - there was plenty of living space for the whole group to spread out and we loved having a big group dinner in the grand dining room. The house is old and some niggles are to be expected (minor cobwebs, loose doorknobs, a couple of chipped mugs) and they definitely didn't take away from our love for the place (and shouldn't deter anyone else!).

Summary: We had a lovely time. Location is great for walking with some nice pubs to eat close by. House has everything you could need. Views are gorgeous from bedrooms and the terrace. Great stay for a friends 50th birthday. Thank you.

Summary: Perfect location for a quick jaunt from Manchester. The village was nice with a few shops for essentials & short drive to supermarkets for a bigger shop. The property was really quirky & homely, our group of 11 had more than enough space to not be on top of each other but also gather as a group for dinner & evenings. Tge edible forrest wa

Summary: A beautiful 'lived-in' and quirky old house that made us all feel at home. Wonderful gardens and views. Great to share meals (prepared in the lovely spacious kitchen) around the long dining room table - made us feel like nobility. So many rooms - that we often 'lost' the kids. Weather was great so we were able to walk down to the river and go swimming. So close to the village and playground - but secluded and set back from the road.
Carole L. Jul 18, 2024 11:27:39 PM
Summary: The house and the grounds are amazing and so are the magnificent views. It didn't take long for us to se

Summary: Great location for a large party, we had a lovely time. Lots to explore and discover
Greg P. May 11, 2024 11:06:59 AM
Summary: We had such a lovely stay at this beautiful home. The host was extremely helpful and gave us access to the local tennis courts which were really fun. The actual house itself is even better than the photos in set in amazing grounds with beautiful views. We also loved walking down to the river.
