Description
Turnpike House is a house and toll booth located on Cheddar Road in Wedmore, dating from the early 19th century. The building is constructed of painted rubble and features a double-Roman and pantile roof with three brick stacks. The house has a symmetrical front with two storeys and three bays, showcasing two and three-light casements that include horizontal glazing bars and brick voussoirs. The central door opening contains a four-panelled door, with the top two panels being glazed, and is topped by a wooden hood supported by two wooden posts.
To the right of the house is the toll booth, which is a single-storey, five-sided structure with a hipped roof divided into five sections. It has a single two-light casement with horizontal glazing bars. To the left, there is a further two-storey addition of lower height, also featuring casements with glazing bars. This building is part of the Wedmore Turnpike Trust, which was established in the early 19th century.
