Description
Turnpike Cottage is a turnpike keeper's cottage dating from around the mid-19th century. It features rendered walls and scantle slate roofs, with the main roof canted at the front and lower flanking roofs with gable ends. The cottage has cast-iron ogee gutters. The layout includes three rooms, with the central room having a canted front and a chamber, while the other two rooms are in single-storey wings on either side.
The exterior presents a nearly symmetrical five-window south front on the ground floor, with a doorway located on the right side of the left wing. In the center, there is a canted two-storey bay with windows set in the splays. The central ground floor window likely occupies the original doorway position. The door is a 20th-century addition, and the windows are four-pane horned sashes. The interior has not been inspected. Near the right end of the property stands one of the original gate piers, which is a large chamfered granite monolith topped with an iron pin-tail.
