Waldon Cottage (Ennerdale).
House. Circa mid 17th century with 18th century addition. Plastered cob walls. Gable-ended thatch roof. Brick stack at each gable-end and 1 rear lateral stack.

The inner room may formerly have had a non-domestic use. Probably in the 18th century a small outbuilding was added in front of the lower room which was converted in the later 20th century.
