Orleton House is Listed Grade II for its architectural importance. The main house has origins in the Jacobean period but it was effectively rebuilt in 1858 and has classic architecture of the period. The exterior is characterised by mellow brick elevations, attractive stone work and prominent Dutch gables. Rising above the house are ornate chimney stacks and a fascinating bell tower with the bell remaining in good working order and still in use by the family.

Just look at the kitchen! It’s one that looks like it’s used by someone who enjoys cooking!
The exterior of the house is fascinating! The garage building is lovely, the gardens are entrancing! And it has a swimming pool!

Absolutely lovely.

Is that a big cat under the snooker table?

This house really is amazing! The brochure tells me that it has hosted the The Ledbury Hunt Point-to-Point and is known as LITTLE CHELTENHAM

Perhaps one of the more well known features of Maisemore
Park is the twice annual Point-to-Point which has also been
aptly named ‘Little Cheltenham’. The course is a totally flat,
oval course bounded on two sides by the River Severn.

English Heritage plans survey for all Grade II listed buildings

All of England’s Grade II listed buildings are to be surveyed by English Heritage for the first time.

The body is calling for an “army of volunteers” to determine which of the 345,000 are at risk from neglect.

 

English Heritage said it hoped to begin recruiting for the first full surveys next autumn and asked would-be volunteers to contact its customer services department.

It’d be an amazing chance to get to see some Grade II listed buildings!
