Monument record 10831 - Dee Hills House & Garden

Dee Hills Park is a country house, now office building built 1814 by Thomas Harrison but much altered. The exterior is stuccoed with a grey slate roof. It is two storeys high with a three bay garden front facing the river. There is a large extension to the right, probably added in the 1930s. (1)

It was surrounded by a small designed landscape garden including an intricate system of paths and deliberately planted treescapes. A long curved carriage path leads from the main road and the park lodge to the front of the house. Features noted in the garden included two summer houses and a boat dock on the River Dee. (2)
