Description

Little France Corner and Fernleigh are two attached houses built in the early 18th century, with some partial rebuilding occurring in the late 18th century and early 19th century. They are constructed from coursed rubble limestone and feature ashlar chimneys and a concrete tile roof. The buildings are two stories high with an attic and are arranged in an L-shape.

The front of Little France Corner has a three-window arrangement, with all windows being chamfered mullioned 2-light casements that have continuous dripmoulds. There is a central doorway with a stone lintel and a 20th-century glazed door. The gable ends have parapets and gable-mounted chimneys.

On the south side, behind the lower part of Little France Corner, is the front of Fernleigh, which has scattered casement windows, mostly consisting of 2-light chamfered mullioned casements, with one window featuring leaded glass. Fernleigh also has a central doorway with a stone lintel and a glazed porch addition, along with two 20th-century eaves-mounted gabled roof dormers. The east end shows signs of a raised roofline. Inside Fernleigh, there are some panelled window seats. This building forms part of a group with France Corner.
