An odd two-level tollhouse, the upper storey is level with the steeply climbing A379 road from Shaldon to Torquay, the lower storey with the B3195 Newton Abbot road, the house lying in the fork of the two roads. Probably built around 1828, when the Torquay trustees built the Shaldon-Torquay road, although it may have been adapted for use as a tollhouse at that time.

The Old Toll House is a two storey rectangular house built into the hillside, so that it is approached from the two roads at different levels. It has square-headed sash windows and a square-headed, canopied doorway. It's status as a toll house is uncertain but it was possibly built for the Dartmouth, Torquay and Shaldon Turnpike Trust in the 19th century.
