Description
Toll Gate House, attached to Swinford Bridge, is a toll house built in 1767 for the 4th Earl of Abingdon. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a hipped stone slate roof with a rebuilt brick ridge stack. The building has an L-plan layout, with a rear range along the road. It stands two storeys high and has a three-window range. The round-arched doorway, which frames a plank door, is located to the right of two Diocletian windows. The first floor has flat arches over three windows, with two from the 19th century and one 18th century cross window that includes three leaded lights to the left. There is a raised storey band.
The two-storey rear wing is made of coursed limestone rubble, topped with a gabled stone slate roof, and has rebuilt ridge and 18th century brick end stacks. The left side wall of this wing has timber lintels over two 20th century doors, a canted bay window with casements, and two narrow 18th century shutters for ticket hatches. The building is still in use as a toll house.
