Full Description

The following text is from the original listed building designation:
EYNSFORD RIVERSIDE 1. 5280 No 5 TQ 5365 11/81 1.6.67 (Toll Bar Cottage) II GV
2. C16 or earlier timber-framed building with painted brick and flint infilling. The first floor of the north westernmost window bay oversails on the protruding ends of the floor joists and brackets with a gable over it. Tiled roof. Two storeys. Two casement windows. It is thought that this may have been the toll cottage for the Turnpike Road and that the name of the adjoining road, Sparepenny Lane, may have been associated with the avoiding of paying the toll by the local inhabitants.
