Description
Stoke Plain Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1840, constructed from limestone ashlar with hipped slate roofs and stone internal stacks. It features a double-depth plan and is two stories high with a three-window range. The central entrance has double-leaf part-glazed doors that are accessed by three stone steps, set within a stone porch supported by unfluted Doric columns. This porch has an entablature with triglyphs in the frieze and a deep moulded cornice. The windows are 12-pane sash style, each with stone lintels and keyblocks. The building has a plinth, a storey band, and a band beneath the deep projecting eaves.
At the rear, there are lower symmetrical two-story wings that have similar windows, a plinth, and a storey band. The left wing contains a former wash-house and has blank windows on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected. Along with the farm buildings, this farmhouse is one of several model farms built for the 4th Duke of Grafton between 1839 and 1844.
