Description
Orleton Court is a farmhouse that underwent mid-18th century remodelling of a 17th century or earlier structure. It is constructed of brick and features hipped plain tiled roofs with large brick stacks, forming an H-plan layout. The building has two storeys, an attic with dormers, and a cellar, along with a dentilled eaves cornice. The windows have gauged flat heads and moulded architraves, with most being 12-pane sashes.
The south-west entrance front consists of 1:3:1 bays, where the central section contains two ground floor and three first floor windows, along with two gabled dormers featuring 6-pane sashes. The central entrance is highlighted by a moulded flat canopy supported on shaped brackets and includes a half-glazed door. The projecting single-bay wings have a cellar door and window; the ground floor window of the left wing and the first floor window of the right wing are blind.
On the south-east front, there are five bays, with the central bay slightly projecting and pedimented. This bay features a tripartite first floor sash window, and the entrance below has an open pediment, moulded architrave, and a half-glazed door.
Inside, the central ground floor room was the hall of the earlier building and features a broach stop-chamfered ceiling and a large fireplace. A small room at the rear of the former hall has raised and fielded panelling. The south wing retains an open well staircase in the central part, complete with turned balusters, columnar newels, and a moulded handrail. There is a deeply moulded cornice in the stair hall and the flanking ground floor rooms. A room to the south-west includes a large elaborate fireplace with engaged Doric columns, and there is an ironing stove in the first floor room at the rear. The property is part of the Winnington Estate.
