Description

Bar House is a toll house that has been converted into a residence, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone and features a stone slate roof, which is now coated with bitumen. The building has a three-unit plan and is single storey with a symmetrical design. The projecting canted center includes a doorway with a plain surround and a boarded door. On each side of the canted section, as well as in each outer bay, there is one 2-light window with a recessed chamfered mullion and board shutters. The roof is hipped with deep projecting eaves, and there is a chimney located at the center of the ridge, featuring three diagonal corniced flues.
