House & Family History: Peover Hall is an Elizabethan manor house with a carved staircase, paneled walls, and a fine Long Gallery. The Dining Room contains carved pilasters from Oteley Hall, Shropshire. During World War II the House served as the headquarters of General George Patton's 3rd Army (American).

Garden & Outbuildings: Peover has a fine 20th century Arts and Crafts garden, an avenue of lime trees, yew hedges, a rose garden, a white garden, a pink garden, and a lily pool with a summer house. The Grade I-listed Carolinian Stables are brick with mullioned windows; they are particularly noted for their remarkable and rare plasterwork ceilings.

Chapel & Church: The Mainwaring Chapel is notable.
