Description
Gorway Cross Toll House is a toll house built around 1823. It features painted stucco and a slate roof that is hipped over a canted bay at the front, with a rendered ridge stack at the rear. The building has an L-plan layout, which includes a 20th-century rear left wing.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a one-window range. The canted front, facing Dawlish Road, has three full-height recessed segmental-arched panels, which are framed by four angled pilasters at the corners, complete with impost bands above the arches. There is a 19th-century two-light casement window in the centre of the first floor, while three similar windows on the ground floor are set within semicircular recessed panels. The other windows and door are from the 20th century.
The interior was not inspected, but the building is noted to be an intact example, aside from the 20th-century extension.
