The toll house was probably built around 1874, when the original bridge over the Exe was constructed. It is a red brick building with a steep slate roof and prominent stone copings and kneelers, giving it a vaguely Dutch look. It lies within the Exwick conservation area, and contributes significantly to the enclosed character of this part, linking the church and school visually.
