History

Appears as an early-mid C19 toll-house on a turn-pike road, but it was reputedly originally built in 1758 by Valentine Morris of Piercefield and may therefore relate to the early house at The Mount.

Exterior

Tollhouse in Gothick style. Walls are rendered, part roughcast, and painted; slate roof with wide overhanging boarded eaves, decorative bargeboards to gable ends; two stacks each with two chimneys with round brick shafts. Two storeys. Two- window range; first floor has deep set small metal casements with 3 round-headed lights. Ground floor has projecting porch to left with C20 door; at end left a single round-headed light with hoodmould; to right an 8-pane window with an opening casement; the whole lower frontage is covered by a hipped slate-roof verandah. Side elevation has cross window with hoodmould. Side and rear lean-tos.
