A small house, probably a tollhouse, stands near east budleigh bridge and may have been built when the bridge replaced the ford. Unlike any other example of a tollhouse and very different to the village houses. It is square with walls battered inwards from ground to eaves. Corners are chamfered and decorated with a simple effective design in plaster work.
