GloucestershireMaisemore Park is situated just north of the village of Maisemore which is approximately
two and a half miles north west of the Cathedral City of Gloucester. Maisemore village lies
on the west bank of the River Severn, has a village hall, public house and the Church of
St Giles. The property is ideally located for access to Cheltenham (9 miles) and Gloucester
(2.7 miles) both of which cater for a wide range of everyday and more extensive shopping
needs. Local schools in the area include; Hartpury Primary school, The Kings School,
The Cheltenham Ladies College, Cheltenham College and St Edwards Schools.
Cheltenham is well known for the many literary and music festivals that it holds, as well
as the world famous National Hunt festival. There is easy access to the M5 (J11) 7 miles
away and there are regular train services from both Gloucester and Cheltenham to
London Paddington.
Maisemore Park lies within the Ledbury Hunt country. There is racing at Cheltenham
and the local Point to Point is currently held at the property.
HistoryMaisemore Park was built in 1810 and is listed Grade II.
The house became most well know when it was
purchased by Mr J.J.Cridlan in 1897. Mr Cridlan became
world renowned for his excellent judgement and
knowledge on breeding cattle - in particular the
Aberdeen Angus. The article below is a caption from
Country Life magazine in 1902 that shows Maismore
Park in the background.
Maisemore Park Occupying a delightful position in the Severn Vale, Maisemore Park sits in an elevated position with far
reaching views of Gloucester Cathedral and the Cotswolds to the south and East and the Malvern Hills 18 miles
to the North.
The main approach is through a pillared gateway and up a long carriage driveway to a wide gravelled turning
forecourt to the western elevation. The house is entered through an impressive single storey porch with Ionic
columns either side to a small entrance hall that leads into the main hall. The main hall is an impressive
reception room with marble floor and large carved oak fireplace. The room also benefits from a full height open
light well looking up to the first floor galleried landing.
To one side of the hall there are doors leading to the drawing
room with its tall ceiling and south aspect views over the
Gloucestershire countryside. The room has many notable
features including detailed cornicing and plasterwork. Large
double doors open through to the snooker room with its
decorative wood floor. Beyond the snooker room is the double
aspect sitting room (currently also used as the dining room)
with French doors out on to the south terrace. The views from
this room are particularly noteworthy. Adjacent are the
kitchen and breakfast rooms that enjoy easterly views over
the land towards Cheltenham. Also leading from the main hall
is the study which is a spacious room with a bay window
overlooking the entrance. Beyond the kitchen/breakfast room
the house leads through in to what is predominatly the
annexe but also provides a back door acces and a utility room
that has plenty of built in storage space and a Belfast sink.
The bedroom accommodation at Maisemore Park is reached via
an impressive staircase to a galleried landing. All the bedrooms
can be reached from the landing. The master bedroom is a large
double aspect room with distant southerly and easterly views.
The room has a large bay window and ensuite shower room and
jacuzzi bath adjacent. There is a guest bedroom suite and
4 further bedrooms sharing a family bathroom.
Annexe – The Annexe (or north wing) has in the past been
used as secondary accommodation however it could be
reincorporated into the house. The annexe has its own access
from the yard to a boot room. The current arrangement
accommodates a dining room/sitting room downstairs with
bedroom, sitting room and kitchenette above.

OutbuildingsAdjacent to the house is the triple garage with
up and over doors and a stable yard and
hay store attached. Next to this is a garden
store and dog kennels. A small passage
leads through into the stable yard, consisting
of 11 stables, tack room, feed store and
green house.
In the field to the north of the yard there are two
large (redundant) chicken sheds, currently used
for storage but could have planning potential.
The garden The garden at Maisemore Park lies predominantly to the
south and east of the house and is laid to lawn. There is a
flagstone terrace that runs the length of the southern
elevation and is bordered by a balustrade and leads onto
the garden. There is a lawned area to the front of the
house and small wooded area that runs along the side of
the drive. On one side of the drive is a small pond,
stocked with fresh water ornamental fish. There are a
number of notable mature trees.
LandMaisemore Park is set in approximately 106.3 acres of
land. The vast majority of the land is grassland. The
current owner previously had a National Hunt trainers
licence and has until rencently trained horses at the
property. There are a range of equine facilities
including a horse walker, manège and the land has
been divided into a number of paddocks, one of which
has been used as a half mile all-weather gallop.
The land slopes away from the house and to the north
is an old apple orchard. At the foot of the hill the land
flattens out forming part of the local floodplain and is
used for the Point-to-Point.
FootpathThere is a footpath that runs between points A-B
along the boundary furthest from the house. See
land plan.
The River Severn The River Severn, the UK’s longest river, runs along the
east and southern boundaries of the park. Maisemore
Weir at the southern most boundary is said to be the
most distant point affected by the daily tides. The
current owners let the elver fishing rights along their
beat. The river occasionally floods but when it does
the ground drains quickly due to the sand content in
the soil.
LITTLE CHELTENHAM
The Ledbury Hunt Point-to-Point 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.
The course is extremely popular with both owners and
trainers and even features a pre parade paddock and
winners enclosure. The bank provides a natural grandstand
for viewers that regularly number over 2,500 per meeting.
The Point-to-Point is run and managed by the Ledbury Hunt
who pay a small annual fee for use of the land.
