Description

Three-storey house partly of weather-boarded, timber-framed construction with jettied upper storeys and rendered, stepped gable chimney to the L. The ground floor has a bowed, small-pane shop window of Georgian character with flanking 6-pane glazed doors Above this is an iron-railed balcony to the first floor, with 16-pane French windows giving access to the centre. Paired 8-pane casement to the second floor with external slatted shutters. The left-hand (NW) corner has a rendered, turret-like projection to the ground floor surmounted by a railed semi-circular platform. This contains a polychromed life-sized statue of St. Peter in the act of preaching; there is a sloped octagonal canopy over the figure and a painted wrought-iron hanging sign to the front. Between this conical turret and the projecting chimney breast on the gable end is an incorporated shelter with lean-to roof. The chimney itself is pierced on the ground floor by an arched, small-pane window; applied relief plaque above. To the L of the chimney a flight of steps with attendant parapet slopes up in an L-plan to a tall arched entrance with lower arched, boarded door. A wide arch joins Toll House to Bridge House beyond. Rising up beyond the roof-line to the rear is a flat-roofed boarded lookout.

To the rear adjoins Pilot House. This is a 2-storey weather-boarded block with wide, horizontal, metal-framed windows to both floors facing out across the estuary.
