Description
The former toll house, located at the front of Toll House Court on Coronation Road in Bedminster, Bristol, dates back to around 1820. This building, also known as Ashton Gate Toll House, features a stucco exterior with freestone dressings and a slate roof. It has a double-depth plan, is square in shape, and has a prominent deep curved central bay. The structure is two storeys high and has a three-window range on the bay, with blank front walls, and a two-window range on each side wall. Notable architectural details include a low plinth, a plat band, and deep overhanging eaves of the pyramidal roof, along with a tall central stack topped with four moulded pots. A deep, slated verandah supported by iron stanchions extends from the bay. The central doorway and a first-floor window are both blocked, while the windows feature two-light designs with square section drip moulds, ovolo-moulded surrounds, and mullions. The windows also include leaded lights and single light casements. The toll house ceased operation in 1866 and was incorporated around 1980 with Toll House Court, which is not included in this listing. The interior has not been inspected.
