Uppark House is a stately home near Petersfield, West Sussex. It was built in about 1690 for Lord Tankerville in a restrained Baroque style. It was then bought by Sir Matthew Fetherstonhaugh in 1747.
The pillared portico on the north front, seen here, was added in the late 18th century by Sir Matthew's son, Harry, and was designed by Humphry Repton.
Following a devastating fire in 1989 it has been extensively restored.

In about 1810 his son, Sir Harry, added the dairy in a separate building on the wast, designed by Humphry Repton. There was a laundry in a matching building on the east (which now houses the cafe).
Interestingly, at the age of 71 Sir Harry married a dairy maid, Mary, who continued as custodian of the house after he died.
