About this property
Explore the fascinating home of the Peckovers, the Quaker banking family who lived here for 150 years. This is a hands-on house with a 'Cabinet of Curiosities', dressing-up clothes for children of all ages, and three floors revealing the lives of both the family and their servants. Built c.1722, this is one of England's finest town houses with superb rococo plaster and wood decorations. Outside, discover the hidden wonders of the 0.8 hectares (two acres) of beautiful Victorian garden, with its orangery, summerhouse, roses and manicured croquet lawn, as well as a 17th-century thatched barn and Georgian stables. There are stunning displays of daffodils, narcissi and tulips in spring and roses in summer.
