Description
Tollgate House is a house that was formerly a lodge to the Redgrave Park Estate and was likely used as a tollgate house. It dates from around 1770 and is possibly designed by Capability Brown for R Holt. The building has been altered and extended in the 20th century. It is constructed of white brick with a slate roof and has an octagonal shape. The house is one storey high and features six faces, each with gauged brick round relieving arches that contain gauged brick round-headed two-light glazing bar casements with simple traceried heads. A window has replaced an entrance facing Botesdale. There is an oversailing course at the eaves, and the eight-sided roof rises to a small octagonal ridge stack. At the rear, the roof has catslides over a red brick lean-to addition that includes an external stack on the right side, along with a further addition to the rear left that has an entrance. The interior has not been inspected.
