Single storey wing to either side, each with one ground floor window, blind recesses above and on the outside. Roof hipped to front of centre, hidden behind parapets to left and right, tall stack in angle between projecting front and left wing. Rear elevation not seen.
Interior
Interior not seen at resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included for its special interest as an early C19 turnpike toll-house which has retained its character.
