Description
The Toll House is an early 19th century cottage that later served as a toll house, during which time a large gabled porch was added. It is built of rubble and has one-and-a-half storeys, topped with a slate roof and tiled ridge, featuring a squat end chimney on the right side. The front of the building is symmetrical, with a large central porch. A tariff slate, which is currently boarded up, is located in a recess facing the road, and the entrance is on the right side, featuring a two-panel Victorian door. There is a tall six-pane window on the left return, and weather-coursing is present at the junction with the main block. The main block has later 19th century four-pane sash windows, and on the first floor, there are two four-pane casements that break the eaves, set within wide gabled dormers. To the left, there is a small lean-to with a corrugated iron roof and a rubble parapet facing the road.
Inside, the layout consists of two plain rooms, with a plank partition on the left and 19th century beamed ceilings.
