Keystone Historic Buildings Consultants, July 2014, Higher Lettaford, North Bovey, Devon, 14-15 (Report - Survey). SDV356882.

Range forming southern side of the farmstead, facing north opposite the farmhouse. The building contains two stables, one now converted to a cow shed, with a hayloft over with integral lean-tos at each end. The west one is an open-fronted wagon or implement shed. The east one is now roofless and partly ruined. As the building appears to have been in existence by the time of the 1840 Tithe Map a late 18th-early 19th century date is not unreasonable for its construction.
