Description
The Old Toll House is an early 19th-century building located on the southeast side of Islington. It is a single-storey structure with an attic, featuring a distinctive octagonal shape and constructed from painted rubble. The roof is thatched, and there is a central ashlar diagonal stack. The front of the building has a five-angled section that is partially supported by pine posts, with lancet-shaped windows that include marginal glazing and shutters. There is a pointed doorway with modern painting above it, and a single lancet-shaped dormer adds to its picturesque appearance.
