Virtually identical to the nearby Mersington Mill (see separate list entry). Noted in the Ordnance Survey Name Book as "...a neat farmhouse 2 stories high", West Printonan remains well detailed, with the majority of its original features intact - the crowstepped gables and dormerheads, the sash and case glazing, original fanlight and corniced stacks being particularly notable. Marked as 'West Printonian' on the 1858 Ordnance Survey map. Rutherfurd notes an Adam Stenhouse as farmer here in 1866. The nearby threshing barn and cartshed with granary above, originally associated with the house, are now in separate ownership and are listed separately.
