The two-storey thatched building is hexagonal in plan.〔 It is on the road between Chew Magna and Pensford and close to the bridge over the River Chew.
It was built around 1793 by the West Harptree Turnpike Trust and served as a toll house when turnpikes were in use.〔 A pouch hung on a hook over the door was used by coach drivers to pay the toll.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thepastwhispers.com/House_Road.html )〕
In the 1850s it was home to the Burridge family who acted as the toll collectors until the Turnpike Trust was abolished in 1876.
