Description
Toll Bar Cottage is a house that was originally a toll house, built in the early 19th century for the Edinburgh to Longtown Turnpike. It features limewashed stucco walls with stone dressings and has a hipped roof covered with graduated slate, topped by a brick chimney stack. The cottage is a single storey with two bays. It has a five-panel door set within a pointed Tudor-style arch. There is a central projecting segmental bay window, which includes two-pane sash windows in chamfered surrounds with hood moulds. The cottage is located at a road junction, where it had two gates, one of which led to the Moffat road via Gretna.
