Tollgate House aka Monmouth Toll House

Tollgate House, also known as Monmouth Toll House, is a distinctive two-storey toll-house. Its design makes effective use of the site, featuring deep, diagonally set gabled bays at the north and east corners, with a similar bay on the west side. The building has a generally square plan with an extension to the south. It is constructed of stone with whitewashed rendered elevations and a graduated Cumberland slate roof on the front (north) elevation, while the rear has a cement rendered chimney.

The windows are square-headed casement types, with three-light windows in the main gabled bays; the ground floor window of the east bay was plain glazed at the time of the survey in 2000. The western bay has narrower windows that retain Neo-Tudor dripmoulds. There is a depressed blank arch on the west side where the former tollgate was located. In the center of the northeast elevation, a two-centred arched former doorway has been converted into a window, with the bottom half blocked and the upper half plain glazed. The main entrance is now located on the east elevation, where there is a lean-to extension featuring a panelled door and a small canted bay window. Additionally, there is a modern flat-roofed extension at the rear.
