Once home to the Peckover family, known for their banking business, as well as their philanthropy. The property and its estate were split and sold, probably in the 1930's, to a Major Smedley after the war who lived there until his death in 2001, which is when the current owners acquired it. The ground floor features a study, sitting room, kitchen, breakfast room and wonderful dining room with an impressive bay window which is matched in the drawing room on the floor above.
