Description

Tollgate Cottage is a former shop that dates back to the 16th century and has undergone later alterations. The building features a rendered timber frame, which has been partly refaced, and is topped with a thatched roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic. The front of the cottage includes two 19th-century canted bay shop windows and an inserted gable-end stack. There are also two 20th-century flat-topped dormers. At the rear, there is a later extension. Inside, a 17th-century inserted floor can be found, while the roof is mostly modern, retaining one original queen post truss.

Tollgate Cottage sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
