Description

Lyne Toll is a late 18th century former tollhouse, designed as a single storey, three-bay rectangular building with a piended roof, located on a sloped site. It features an adjoining single storey wing on the right and a store at the rear. The exterior is constructed from coursed whinstone with sandstone dressings, including painted cills and stone lintels.

On the northeast elevation, the principal façade includes a central two-leaf boarded entrance door flanked by windows. The adjoining single storey wing to the right has a door at the extreme left that breaks through the eaves and leads into a dwarf flat-roofed dormer with "EDSTON TOLL" painted on the lintel; the right return of this wing is blind.

The southeast elevation has a window on the right and is blind on the left, following the contour of the hill. The southwest elevation features a later wing with regularly placed paired windows on the left, while the main house has a window to the right and paired cast-iron Carron lights on the roof. The northwest elevation includes a window on the left with the adjoining single storey wing to the right.

The original glazing plan has been lost, and the windows have been infilled with modern composite blocks, although they were originally 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The timber boarded entrance doors remain in place. The main building and wing have a piended grey-blue slate roof, with later metal ridging, flashing, and valleys. The rainwater goods are painted cast-iron, and there is a harled brick stack with a later single can at the central roofline.

The interior of the main house was not seen in 2002, but the wing contains a 20th century scullery.
