Description
Tor Hill Cottage is a former toll house built soon after 1764 by the Wells Trust. It features local stone rubble construction and a clay pantiled roof, with plain gables on the main block and coped gables on the south-east crossing. The building has two storeys and three bays, with the third bay being the gable of the crosswing. The windows include horizontal-bar casement windows with two lights in the first two bays and the upper part of the third bay, along with a four-pane sash window in the lower part of the third bay. The lower casements are set under segmental arched heads, while the sash window has a timber lintel. There is a plain boarded door located in a lean-to porch on the west face of the crosswing. A blocked archway, likely for a window, is found to the right of bay one, where a window appears to have been in a former doorway. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to against the north-west gable, which has a blocked doorway on its front elevation. The south-east elevation features a single nine-pane sash window on the ground floor. The interior has not been inspected.
