Peper Harow House was originally designed and built by Sir William Chambers who was the architect to King George III, and amongst whose public commissions was Somerset House, London. Sir William Chambers’ instructions came from the 3rd Viscount Midleton and he commenced the design for the mansion in 1763.

It is believed that the works were completed in 1777. Since then the house has evolved to meet the family’s needs. The Estate remained in the Midleton family for nearly 200 years and in 1947 a charitable trust acquired it for residential and educational purposes. In 1989 a serious fire damaged a major portion of the mansion. However, with the advice and assistance of English Heritage, the house was restored.

In 1998, Peper Harow House underwent restoration and sympathetic alterations to create seven apartments and two wings. The property has been finished to a very high specification and has the benefit of a video entry system to the courtyard and main doors and the use of a central lift which can be accessed from all floors.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors with the four original chimneypieces designed by Sir William Chambers and made by his fellow Royal Academician, Joseph Wilton.
