Description
No. 39 on Thorpe Lane is a toll house built shortly after the Act of 1758 for a turnpike road from Austerlands to Wakefield. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and features a graduated stone slate roof. It consists of one room on each of its two floors, with a later lean-to addition against the right gable. The entrance door is located to the right and has a square-cut surround. There is a paired sash window with a dividing mullion from the 19th century. On the first floor, there is a 4-light window with recessed flat-faced stone mullions. The building also has a brick gable chimney stack. Each gable end has two blocked windows, and the left gable has two 2-light windows, both of which have had their mullions removed.
