Orford House, Grade II* listed house in Ugley, England
Orford House is a Georgian country house positioned along Cambridge Road, featuring balanced proportions and symmetrical windows characteristic of early 18th-century design. The structure displays formal architectural details typical of its period and grade of listed status.
Built around 1700 for Edward Russell, First Lord of the Admiralty, the house marked his prominence in England's naval governance. A major expansion occurred in 1750 under Isaac Whittington's ownership, reflecting the property's growing importance.
