Description

Canal toll house with roughcast walls and with Welsh slate roof cladding. Bowed 2 storey front to canal with lower wing with gabled roof set back at right angles to the south-west. Both sections are only one room. The bowed front section has a half cone roof, sash window without glazing bars on first floor and modern single storey gabled porch projecting forward with a small window opening in each side wall on ground floor. Stack on rear gable of this wing. North-east return of same wing with panelled door with shallow overlight on ground floor and window on first floor. South-west return with sash window with glazing bars on ground floor and blocked window opening on first floor. The canal or north-west elevation of the adjoining south-west wing has a window opening; there are openings at a lower level in south-west gable end.

The interior is said to have panelled doors. The rooms must be very small. This toll house is very similar in character to Turnpike tollhouses of the period, but with slightly better accommodation than some.
