Description

The Toll House at the eastern end of The Cob, also known as The Rebecca Tollgate, is a single-storey, three-bay building constructed from rubble with a slate roof and wide eaves. The central gabled bays at the front and rear project, creating a cruciform plan. There are rubble chimney stacks with tall flues located on either side of the center. The front features a central entrance with an attached toll-board to the left, which was transferred from the former tollgate at the Porthmadoc end. To the right, there is a tall, round-topped, painted gate pier for a pedestrian gate. The outer bays have cross frame windows. The left gable end is rendered and has a high plinth that continues across the blank rear. In front, there is a free-standing gate pier similar to the one mentioned, which holds replaced main and pedestrian gates; however, the gate on the southeast side of the road is missing. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
