Description
Built in 1806 for a Dr Roxby. During the 1800s it became the residence of Monkseaton Brewery (HER 1151) owner, William Davison. The house had a fine garden, shown on a plan of 1877, with a vinery, tennis court, rockery, fernery, coach house, potting shed and tomato house. Davison built two reservoirs in the garden to supply water for the brewery. The reservoirs were fed by the Cold Well (HER 5869). The house is now a residential care home. LOCAL LIST
