Description
Ye Olde Tolle House is a Grade II listed shop that was formerly a toll house, dated 1758. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with a brick stack and a thatched roof. The building has a small two-room plan and faces north-west. The right room, which is the south-western room, features a rear lateral stack. There is a storage outshot on the left end of the building. It is a single-storey structure with a two-window front. Both windows have arched heads, glazing bars, and contain tiny rectangular panes of old leaded glass. The windows are shuttered. At the right end, there is an old stable-type door, along with a 20th-century shield-shaped plaque to the right that bears the date 1758. The front of the store on the left end is weatherboarded and includes a plank door. The roof is hipped at both ends and extends continuously over the store, with thatch eyebrows above the windows. The interior has not been inspected. This building is noted as the oldest surviving toll house in Devon.
