Description

The Prinnels Wick Farmhouse is a 18th-century farmhouse featuring diaper brickwork and a stone slate roof with two hipped dormers. The building is two storeys high, with an attic and a cellar. Inside, there is a central stair hallway flanked by reception rooms. A gable stack is located on the right, while a rear stack serves the left room and a one-bay rear wing. The rear also has a full-length lean-to. The entrance includes a four-panel door set in a trellis porch. The windows are timber casements, and there is an outsetting eaves cornice. To the right, there is a 19th-century extension that houses a dairy and cheese room above. The roof is supported by butt purlins.
