Higher Lettaford

Higher Lettaford is a farmhouse that may have originally been a longhouse, with its older section dating back to the 16th century. The lower end of the house was completely rebuilt in the mid-19th century. The older part features a mix of granite rubble and granite ashlar, with the ashlar sections located to the left of the center and towards the right gable end. The walls were originally rendered, but the render is now peeling off. There is a granite rubble gable end stack with a brick shaft, and the roof is slate with gable ends.

The mid-19th century section is made of rendered granite rubble with a stone plinth and has rendered brick stacks at either end. Its roof is hipped at both ends. While the original house retains the inner room and part of the hall, it was rebuilt from the lower wall of the hall downwards in the mid-19th century, leaving no definitive evidence of it being a longhouse. However, its location down the slope and the similar ashlar work to another building in the hamlet suggest this possibility.

The mid-19th century part is double depth, consisting of four rooms and a central entrance hall, and is two storeys tall. The older section on the right has an asymmetrical two-window front, with a chamfered granite lintel above the left-hand window. The taller mid-19th century part features a regular three-window front with 19th century two-light casements that include glazing bars, and the ground floor left window has iron stanchion bars. There is a very small single light window between the first-floor center and left window, and the central doorway has a 19th century four-panel door. To the right of the doorway, there is a granite mounting block.

At the rear of the mid-19th century section, there is a verandah supported by wooden posts, with walls at either end. The rear facade is symmetrical with three windows featuring 19th century twelve-pane sashes and a central 20th century part-glazed door. The house is currently unoccupied, and the interior was not accessible for inspection.
