History of Rondeva

This beautiful house is one of the seventeen properties that make up the Grade II-listed Deva Terrace. It was built in late Georgian style in a spectacular location on the banks of the River Dee by William Titherington (1814-1893), a Liverpool cotton broker who had married Eliza Grace Fluitt, the daughter of a wealthy Chester family. He also had interests in insurance, railways, mines, and hotels. In the 1850s, soon after taking residence at neighboring Dee Hills House, he started developing parts of the estate and built Sandown Terrace, comprising three large Italianate houses, and then Deva Terrace. A decade later, unwise financial activities, including acting as a broker for cotton speculation during the American Civil War, saw him arrested for debt and thrown into Lancaster Castle Gaol. The subsequent bankruptcy case took years to resolve. By 1892 Titherington had moved to 13 Deva Terrace where he died the following year. He, his wife, and his infant son are buried in Chester’s Overleigh Cemetery.
Present owner Chris Williams lived at Rondeva for many years with his Grandfather, Ronald Roberts after his Nan died and the house remains a very important part of his life. Ron called it home for half a century until passing away in 2013, a day short of his 81st birthday. A bench bearing a plaque in his memory stands on the patio overlooking the river. After refurbishment, Chris opened the house as a self- catering holiday home in 2016.
