Gattonside Toll

Gattonside Toll is an early 19th-century, single-storey and attic, three-bay former toll house. It features a symmetrical design with a gabled entrance and a piended platform roof supported by bracketed eaves. The building is situated on a prominent corner site to the north of Melrose Bridge. It is constructed of coursed whinstone with buff sandstone ashlar dressings and has raised stone cills. The central stone doorpiece is flanked by canted windows that have lying-pane glazing, all topped with piended stone hoods. There are bipartite windows on the side elevations and flat roof dormers above and at the rear. A single-storey lean-to addition is present on the rear elevation.

Inside, the principal ground floor rooms feature exposed timber beam ceilings. The front door is made of timber with six-pane glazing in the upper panel. The timber sash and case windows have 12-pane horizontal glazing. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there is a central brick stack with clay cans.
