Description

Pringle House and the adjoining barns are a farmhouse and barn complex dating from the mid-18th century. The farmhouse features painted rendered walls beneath a Welsh slate roof, with rebuilt stone chimney stacks. The barns are constructed from red sandstone rubble, partly painted, and have graduated greenslate and Welsh slate roofs. The house is two stories high with three bays, accompanied by a single-bay barn on the left and a lower two-bay L-shaped barn on the right. There is a central 20th-century door framed in painted stone, and sash windows with painted stone surrounds, including a double window to the left of the entrance. The left barn has a central projecting cart entrance, while the right barn features a segmental-arched doorway along with other flat-headed doorways and windows, all in painted stone surrounds.
