The Toll House

The Toll House is a former toll house that has been converted into a private residence, built around 1860. It features red, yellow, and blue brick in Flemish garden wall bond, with stone dressings and a tiled roof that includes bands of fish-scale tiles on the left range. The building has two staggered cross gables with renewed decorative bargeboards and finials, and a tall brick central ridge stack.

The exterior is single storey. On the left side, there is a 6-pane canted bay window with moulded stone mullions, transoms, a sill, and an embattled parapet. To the right, a 2-light window has a moulded stone surround, mullions, a sill, and a hoodmould, with one metal casement and iron window bars. The central semi-integral embattled porch features a smaller side window and a round-arched doorway with a rusticated, keyed surround. The doorway includes a fanlight with radial glazing bars and a panelled door with a metal outer door, accessed by two stone steps. There is also an inner former stable-type door. The building has rusticated stone quoins, a stone plinth, and a blue brick plinth course. The left elevation has additional similar mullioned windows with metal bars and a wing that displays a blue and yellow brick pattern in the gable.

Inside, the property boasts an elaborately carved fireplace surround. Historically, it was built for the Trustees of the Pershore Division of the Evesham First District of Turnpike Roads on land conveyed by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey.
