Description

The Tollhouse at Fochabers Bridge, built around 1830 in the style of Archibald Simpson, is a single-storey structure with a raised basement and a roadside entrance on its south elevation. The building features tooled ashlar stone with polished ashlar dressings above a rubble raised basement. A modern extension, added around 1983, is designed to be sympathetic to the original style and extends to the north. This extension is harled with simulated sandstone dressings. The tollhouse includes a projecting canted bay with three six-pane casement windows, hoodmoulded doors and windows, and multi-pane fenestration on the modern part. The roof is shallow piended and covered with slate, and there are two coped ridge stacks.
