Description
The Old Tollhouse is a small cottage built in the Tudor Revival style, likely dating from 1837. It is entirely rendered and painted, probably over local rubble stone, and features Welsh slate roofs with ridge tiles. The building has a one-storey and attic polygonal stucco front that protrudes from the row of cottages at the west end of Usk Bridge, along with an additional single-storey bay wing to the left.
The entrance bay includes 2-light casements with Tudor dripmoulds on the first floor, a solid porch adorned with bargeboards, and a painted date of 1837. The double door in the porch has vertical panels and shuttered side-lights. There are splayed bays on either side, with dummy slits on the first floor and 2-light windows (with original glazing in the right bay) under Tudor dripmoulds on the ground floor. The low one-storey extension to the left features one 3 + 3 pane casement. The rear elevation was not observed.
The interior was not seen during the resurvey in November 2000, but it is expected that the rooms are very small.
