The Toll-House

The Toll-House is a former toll-house, likely dating from the early 19th century, and possibly used as a bridge toll-house. It was in use by 1819. The building is constructed of local stone rubble with a deep hipped slate roof and a left-end stack with a stone shaft. Originally, it probably comprised a single room on plan, with a single-storey rear lean-to, which may be a later addition. The front is asymmetrical, with two bays and features a plinth and string course. A 20th-century panelled door is situated on the right side. There are two-light casement windows with six panes per light; the ground-floor windows are larger than those on the first floor, all with segmental stone arches and keystones. The toll-house sits at the junction of the Old and New Tiverton roads, overlooking Briton Street and the bridge over the River Batherm.
