Old Stamp House

This is a mid-19th century building located on the corner of Church Street and Lake Road in Ambleside. The building is stuccoed with a slate roof. The prominent corner features a pilastered doorway with two round-arched, glazed doors. Flanking the doorway are 19th-century shop windows with pilasters and small, slender colonnetted lights. A continuous cornice runs above the entire ground floor, with another above the fascia. Above the ground floor, the corner windows and those on the Church Street front have round-headed lights. The Lake Road front is blank, with a moulded square panel. A small gable featuring a shield is positioned centrally above the upper floor windows. The building forms a group with Nos 2 to 11 (consec), the Royal Oak Hotel, premises previously occupied by T and J Glen and the Old Stamp House, and premises occupied by Tyson, Lake Road.
