House To South Of Lock 45 Grand Union Canal

The house located to the south of Lock 45 on the Grand Union Canal, partly in Tring Parish, Hertfordshire, dates from the mid-19th century and was formerly a toll office. It is constructed of brown brick with white brick voussoir heads above the openings. The building features offset and boarded eaves, a hipped slate roof, and offset brick chimneys. It has a double pile design, stands two storeys tall, and consists of three bays. The northern front is slightly irregular and includes a canted projection for the toll office on the ground floor to the left, which has offset eaves, a lead roof, a blind narrow wall at the front, and sash windows on the sides. The central entrance is a flush-panelled door, with a single-storey bay to the right. The eastern side of the house is more regular and has a central 20th-century door.
