Description
The toll house at Conwy Suspension Bridge is a single-storey building with a castellated design, constructed of ashlar stone on a slightly battered base. It has a cruciform layout featuring a higher central bay and lower outer bays, each topped with hipped slate roofs behind embattled parapets. The building includes higher round corner turrets that have blind loops and battlements.
The entrance is located in the central bay, featuring a Tudor-headed door adorned with vertical ribs, studs, and strap hinges. This door is flanked by narrow leaded windows. Above the entrance is a renewed frieze decorated with octagons. A central blind upper opening displays a renewed painted toll board, which is flanked by more blind loops. The outer bays and end walls contain Tudor-headed windows fitted with diamond-leaded glazing. At the rear, the central bay has a similar window, along with blind windows in the outer bays.
Internally, the central bay consists of two rooms that are each equipped with late 19th-century fireplaces.
