Description
Toll Bar Cottage is an 18th-century toll house with stone, rendered walls and a slate roof featuring a stone ridge. It has end chimney stacks and a central doorway that is sheltered by a stone slab porch, which is likely a later addition. There are round-headed windows on either side of the door, both fitted with 20th-century glazing. A 20th-century extension to the right side of the cottage is not included in the listing.
