EXTERIOR: T-plan including rear wing. Gothic style. Main front block two storeys to road, three storeys to left return with two-storey rear wing. Single storey gabled porch with segmental pointed chamfered arch. Flat-arched chamfered architraves to two-pane casement windows except that to upper floor of left return two light stone mullioned with trefoil headed lights, lower ground floor has C20 planked door.

HISTORY: Similar in appearance to cemetery lodges of this date, this building helps to complete the medieval illusion of this otherwise commercially driven toll bridge complex.
