Description

The Old Toll House is a toll house built in the early to mid-19th century. It features painted brick construction with an irregular hipped zig-zag pantile roof on the main block and a slate roof on the bays. There is a brick stack located at the rear left. The building has a double-depth plan with two-storey bays on the left and right returns. It stands two storeys high and has a three-window range. The central block is slightly stepped forward and includes a canted oriel window on the first floor, which has a hipped roof and 20th-century two-light semicircular arched casement windows at the front. The oriel is coved out over a moulded architrave and features a 20th-century door with narrow windows on the returns of the bay, each adorned with a half dripmould. The left bay is semicircular while the right bay is triangular, each containing three windows beneath label moulds, with two-light casements in the center flanked by single-light casements. The interior has not been inspected.
