Toll House and gate piers, now information centre. Early C19 with some late C20
alterations. Coursed stone rubble, with slate-hanging to south-west and rendered
rear wing. Slate roof with gabled ends.
Plan: L-plan, facing south-east. The rear wing is probably a later (C19 or C20)
addition. Internal partitions since removed. 1 storey.
Exterior: asymmetrical 3-window front, the 2 right-hand windows are in square bays
over which the main roof is carried down. C19 wooden lattice casements, the right-
hand 2 are of 3 lights and the left-hand one of 2 lights, and all have flat stone
arches and slate cills. Doorway to left of centre has original gabled stone porch
with a segmental stone-arched head and a C20 boarded door. C20 roof-lights to rear.
Rendered external end stack to rear wing and C20 flat-roofed addition in angle.
Interior: 4-bay roof to front range with collar trusses, and trussed rafters to
rear wing. Pair of rough monolithic slate gate piers flanking Porlock-Lynton road
in front of toll house, each with fixing holes for former gates. The eastern pier
stands in Somerset as the county boundary passes down the centre of the road at this
point.
