Uldale House

Uldale House is a farmhouse with an attached cottage, built in 1828 and extended in 1879. It was originally intended as an inn, although it was never used as such. The building is constructed of thin-coursed rubble with quoins, with the front face painted white, and has a slate roof. It has a double-depth plan arranged on an east-west axis, facing north, with a one-bay extension to the east and a one-bay cottage to the west. The front elevation has two storeys and a 1:3:1 window arrangement. The central portion of the facade is symmetrical, featuring a square-headed doorway with a datestone above it, and two 16-pane hornless sash windows at the first floor, as well as three above, all with plain painted black surrounds. The eastern extension has a square two-light casement window at first floor with glazing bars. The western cottage has a doorway and an altered window at ground floor, and a sash window above, matching the other windows. The interior has not been inspected, but is believed to contain three vaulted cellars. The house was built in anticipation of improvements to the old road from Grisdale to Fell End, although this road was never constructed. It forms a group with the adjoining barn to the west.
