Higher Ludbrook

Higher Ludbrook is a small country house set in its own garden, currently functioning as a farmhouse. It is built on the site of, and incorporates some elements of, an earlier manor house. The rear (east) range dates from the 16th or 17th century, while the front (west) part was constructed in the early 19th century.

The west front is finished in stucco and features a slate hipped roof with deep moulded and dentilled eaves cornice, along with corner pilasters and a moulded plinth. The house has two storeys and four bays, with sash windows that include glazing bars. The first-floor windows have hood moulds, while the ground-floor windows are topped with pediments on console brackets. The central doorway has a pediment that is lower than those of the ground-floor windows, flanked by pilasters, and features a blind fanlight above glazed double doors. The side walls are slate hung.

At the rear, the 16th or 17th-century stone rubble range has rendered chimney stacks and is covered by a catslide slate roof. Inside this earlier range, there are stopped chamfered ceiling beams and a fireplace on the rear wall, which has a wooden bressumer supported by stone corbels.
