Description
The Toll House is located on a steep site at the northwest end of Bathampton Bridge and was likely built in 1872 by Hickes and Isaac, around the same time as the Toll Bridge. It is constructed from limestone rubble with freestone dressings and features a steeply pitched slate roof, which has a moulded stack on the left side and coped gable ends.
The building has a T-plan layout that includes a rear wing and is designed in the Gothic style. The main front block is two storeys high facing the road and three storeys on the left return, with a two-storey rear wing. A single-storey gabled porch with a segmental pointed chamfered arch is present at the entrance. The windows have flat-arched chamfered architraves and are primarily two-pane casement windows, except for the upper floor of the left return, which features a two-light stone mullion with trefoil-headed lights. The lower ground floor has a 20th-century planked door.
Although the interior was not inspected, the building resembles cemetery lodges from the same period and contributes to the medieval character of the toll bridge complex, which is otherwise more commercially oriented.
