Peckover House is a secret gem; an elegant Georgian town house with wonderful walled garden, an oasis hidden away in an urban environment. A classic Georgian merchant's town house, it was lived in by the Peckover family for 150 years.
The Peckovers were staunch Quakers, which meant they had a very simple lifestyle - yet at the same time they ran a successful private bank. Both facets of their life can be seen as you wander through the house and gardens. The gardens themselves are outstanding - two acres of sensory delight, complete with orangery, summer-houses, croquet lawn and rose garden with more than 60 species of rose.
