The Toll House is an early 19th-century toll house located in Morpeth, constructed from ashlar stone with a Welsh slate roof. It has a semi-octagonal plan and is attached to the side of Nos. 3-7 Pethgate Court. The building is a single storey with five bays. The central entrance features a six-panel door topped by a pedimented stone hood supported by brackets. There are 12-pane sash windows set in plain reveals, with the outer bays canted. Similar windows are found on the returns, and the structure has a semi-octagonal lean-to roof.
