Former toll house thought to have been built in 1773 for the Tavistock Turnpike Trust. It takes the form of a single storey, lodge cottage with an angled front and a projecting porch supported on two Grecian columns. The walls are mainly rendered and the roof of slate. It looks like an estate lodge but its location suggests that it was a toll house.
