Built of roughly coursed and painted stone rubble with Welsh slate roofs. Two storey toll house in Gothic style. Main two storey range parallel with the road with a single storey centre projecting towards the road. The main range has a 3 x 3 pane fixed window with an intersecting tracery head and a dripmould on the ground floor, and a 3 x 1 window with pointed head above. This is on either side of the centre which projects forward with a half hexagonal end. The three faces have a window as before on either side of a blocked doorway, all with hood moulds. Chimney on the wall behind the projecting wing. Half hipped roof to main range with scalloped barge boards. Left return has a modern 3-light casement on the ground floor; single storey late C20 extension with second 3-light casement to left of this.
Interior

Reason for designation
