Higher Mannacott, Including Attached Shippon And Stables At South End

Higher Mannacott is a tenement farmhouse, likely built in the early 19th century, which includes an attached shippon and stables at the south end. The building is constructed of painted stone rubble and features a slate roof that extends continuously over the entire range, with gable ends. There is a large stone rubble stack with offsets and a drip, heightened in brick, located at the left end, and a ridge brick stack at the right end of the dwelling.

The house, which is at the lower end, has a small two-room layout with a central staircase. The kitchen is situated to the left of the staircase, while the parlour is to the right. The long stable and shippon range extends to the right and is unusually attached to the upper end of the dwelling. The house is two storeys high and has a two-window range. The late 19th or early 20th century windows are four-paned sashes, with the upper storey windows breaking through the eaves. The ground floor windows are topped with cambered arched brick lintels.

There is a deep projecting stone rubble porch with a pantiled lean-to roof and a 19th-century plank inner door. The shippon and stable range was formerly lofted, but only the ceiling beams remain. Each outbuilding has a plank stable door. Higher Mannacott is located by the roadside and represents a late example of a small tenement farmhouse with its integral farm buildings constructed under one roof.
