Description
Stormer Hill Bar is a toll-bar cottage, now a house, built in 1838. It is constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and brick, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two bays, featuring one storey at the front and two at the rear. An additional bay was added to the left in 1911, along with a large porch at the front. The brick porch is flanked by sash windows without glazing bars, which have square-cut surrounds. The building features square eaves gutter brackets and has gable and ridge chimney stacks. The new bay on the left is primarily brick, resting on a stone base, and extends as a wing to the rear. There is a 20th-century lean-to porch at the rear, as well as one original window and an inserted window on the upper floor. The Rochdale to Halifax and Elland Turnpike road, which this building served, was one of the earliest in the area, with the act being passed in 1734.
