  We consider string inspired models in $D=10$ spacetime dimensions, which
include couplings with 1- and 3-form fields as well as $R^4$ higher curvature
corrections to the gravitational action. For such models, we explicitly
construct a family of black hole solutions with both electric and magnetic
charges, and with different horizon topologies. The solutions exhibit some
features similar to those of self-gravitating monopoles in Einstein-Yang-Mills
theory, which we discuss. When higher-curvature corrections are switched off,
our solutions reduce to charged $p$-brane solutions previously studied in the
literature. Novel qualitative features appear due to the $R^4$ terms, though.
Such is the case of the emergence of branch singularities for charged solutions
that, nonetheless, can be shielded by the event horizon.
