English term or phrase: with a Grade II* Listed mansion
Set on the former estate of the Earls of Clarendon with a Grade II* Listed mansion, restored and extended under the supervision of English Heritage Tradition with a twist: sumptuous, surprising contemporary interiors by Fox Linton Associates.

Si tratta, appunto, dell'antica residenza dei Conti di Clarendon a Londra, trasformata in un'enorme centro alberghiero.

Explanation:
It refers to the fact that it's a protected building. Certain historical buildings are "listed" ("vincolati" o "coperti da vincolo" is the Italian term often used to translate this). There are different grades - Grade I, Grade II, etc. according to the historical and architectural importance of the building.

\"Melazzano è Dimora Storica coperta da vincolo ai sensi della Legge 1089 del 1939.\"

Come suggerita da Andreina nella risposta per la tua domanda sul \"listed stable block\" (http://www.proz.com/kudoz/394723), si può anche tradurre \"listed building\" come edificio/monumento storico.

Potresti quindi dire \"monumento storico di II° grado\" o qualcosa del genere.

Mi sono dimenticata di \"mansion\", quindi:

dimora/palazzo storico di II° grado

Come ha notato Giovanni (sotto), dovrebbe essere II grado, non II° grado!

agree  Giovanni Guarnieri MITI, MIL: d'accordo... però di "II grado"... come sai II è un numero romano e significa già secondo e quindi non necessita del °.
