Description
Whitfield Old Toll House is a toll house built in 1832. It is constructed from squared stone with cut raised quoins and dressings, topped with a stone slate roof. The building has a T-plan and consists of two bays. The right bay is two storeys high and features a canted bay with paired sashes that have lost their glazing bars, along with a 6-pane sash in a stone surround above. The gable has plain bargeboards. The left bay is set back and is a single storey. There is a porch located in the angle between the two bays, which has a lean-to roof and a flush-panelled door beneath an elliptical arch. The left side of the porch includes a 9-pane fixed window with bars. The left return features a rectangular bay with paired sashes and a gable with plain bargeboards. The two-storey section has a cruciform brick ridge stack with a dentil cornice.
