Former road toll house. Cottage acquired in 1758 by the Tiverton Turnpike Trust. A single storey building with a prominent porch and a hipped thatched roof. There are no external features to show that this was a toll house. However, records indicate that the turnpike trustees rented a house at Ashley to accommodate the toll collector so this may be the cottage that was taken over by them.
