Recent metal roof has been installed for years of maintenance free costs. The coach house has 2 apartments.

An absolutely unique property that rarely is available.

In the 1840's the Cobourg Turf Club constructed a race course on this property. After the club was disbanded the land was bought by Roderick Pringle, a local lawyer, who built a residence on it in 1877. Pringle was an active member of the Conservative Party and a friend of Sir John A. MacDonald.

In 1905 the property was sold to George Howe of Pittsburg who remodeled it as a summer residence and gave it the name "Midfield".

The notable architectural features referred to in its designation as a Heritage Property are the Palladian window in the west wall and the colonnade of the south verandah.
