Listed Building record MDO16862 - Afflington Farmhouse, Afflington, Corfe Castle

Seventeenth century farmhouse with rubble stone walls, stone slate roofs with coped gables, and stone chimney stacks.

SY 970800, Afflington Farm, next a destroyed hamlet is of two storeys with walls of coursed Purbeck stone rubble and stone-slated roofs. The present W. wing is the only surviving part of the house built probably c. 1620 by Giles Green <2.1> and is much altered; the remainder is a building or rebuilding of the 19th century in the local 17th-century style. The 19th-century E. front is symmetrical, with a small central gable, a single-storey porch and two and three-light stone mullioned windows. The N. front, which includes to the W. the wall-face of the original wing altered and heightened in the 19th century to match the remainder, is gabled at each end and has two lofty gabled dormers; the stone-mullioned windows are of two and three lights. The S. front of the original wing, now almost enclosed by later buildings, is least altered; it remains an original doorway with chamfered jambs and four-centred head and a two-light stone-mullioned window under a label with return-stops. The interior has been remodelled. <2> Afflington Farm remains as described. <3>
