Range Of Houses Immediately To North-East Of Affeton Castle

The range of houses immediately to the north-east of Affeton Castle is now two dwellings, previously listed as the north range to Affeton. This range may date back to as early as the 15th century, but no evidence has been found to suggest a date earlier than the late 16th century. It underwent significant alterations in the late 18th century to create a farmhouse and an additional house. The buildings are constructed of coursed local rubble with gabled straw-thatched roofs, although some sections have slate roofing. There are brick ridge stacks at each end, a large rubble stack and a brick axial stack in the centre, and two lateral stacks at the rear, one of which is truncated and capped, while the other features a tall rubble shaft.

The plan consists of a long single-depth range with a wing to the right, forming an L-shape. The left-hand house has a central entrance and a two-room layout, with a gable end stack in the left room and an axial stack in the right room. The right-hand house, which has not been fully inspected, is likely also a two-room plan with a central entrance and two lateral stacks at the rear. A two-storey wing at the front of the right end is a late 18th-century addition made during the remodeling of the entire range.

The exterior is a two-storey, long, asymmetrical six-window range, plus one window in the projecting wing to the right. All windows are late 18th-century horizontally sliding sashes with 12 panes. There are two late 18th-century doors: one is panelled and located to the left, while the one to the right is half-glazed with a transom light featuring glazing bars. The hipped roof wing projecting to the right has casements in a matching style.

Inside, there are two large chamfered and ogee-stopped ceiling beams in the hall, while the remaining fittings appear to be late 18th-century, including doors and a simple straight-flight staircase. The roof seems to be late 18th-century with tie-beam trusses, though it has not been completely inspected and may incorporate some earlier elements.
