Statement of Significance
Although the Preston district was extensively settled by farmers in the 1860s and '70s, few bluestone farm houses from this period survive. Along with another bluestone and brick house in Summerhill Road, Preston, 339 Plenty Road is a rare surviving example in the Preston area of an early bluestone farmhouse. The house is architecturally representative of small rural houses ofthe period.

HOUSE - Physical Description 1
This single-storey house is of coursed bluestone rubble construction and has a hipped roof now clad with corrugated iron. The bluestone has been painted. The chimneys are of bichromate red and cream brick construction. The symmetrical front elevation has a central entrance with a single window on each side. The windows and the front door have been replaced; the original front door frame and rectangular fanlight appear to be intact. It is unclear if there was ever a verandah to the front elevation. Adjoining the house on the north side, and projecting forwards to the street line, is a single-storey brick shop, possibly constructed in c1930
