Description
Baron Sir John Henry Schroder originally purchased The Dell Estate during the 1880s, extending his mansion and lavishing a great deal of care and attention to his gardens. Many fruits and plants were grown in large greenhouses, including the orchids that later became synonymous with The Dell. In the late 1880s, James Pulham & Son was commissioned to design and build a Rock and Water Garden. This resulted in the creation of two waterfalls and ponds that were linked with an artificial stream meandering alongside a 'Pulhamite' rock-lined path. A large castellated water tower was also built to store water that was pumped up from the neighbouring valley.
For ease of maintenance, the ponds have now been contained and the stream has been converted to a dry riverbed. The unusual and rare rocks are still in place as are the waterfalls, which are now activated by remote controlled pumps. Although the greenhouses are no longer there, the impressive water tower remains, though it is no longer functional. In 1987, the 'Schroder' mansion was demolished and nine exclusive mews style townhouses were built in its place.
The Dell is a small community located in a gated, secluded position on the village's premier road. It is only 100 metres or so from the Bishopsgate entrance of Windsor Great Park and its northern boundary adjoins the famous Deer Park. The grounds extend to approximately 10 acres and, in addition to the Water Gardens, have well-manicured lawns, numerous specimen rhododendrons and trees together with other shrubs and plants, all for the quiet enjoyment and exclusive use of its residents.
Just 15 minutes' drive from Heathrow and a short walk from the Fairmont Windsor Park hotel, a great location for travel and leisure. Please note: all distances are approximate.
