Description
Toll Bar Cottage is a former toll house that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed rubble gritstone with quoins, featuring plain gables, gable end and intermediate stone stacks, and a stone slated roof. It has a double depth plan, with a rear range added in the 20th century.
The east elevation has two storeys and three bays. The central bay features a semi-circular bay window with a four-light flush mullioned opening on the first floor, situated above two single ground floor lights. At the south end, there is a blocked doorway with a massive lintel and surround, with a new two-light 20th-century chamfer mullioned window inserted. The north end has stacked two-light flush mullioned windows that were restored in the 20th century. All openings have 20th-century joinery and leaded lights.
This toll house marked the end of the Newhaven to Grindleford Turnpike, which was established by a Turnpike Act of 1758. The building is listed for its group value only.
