Old Toll has a fascinating history. Constructed in the early 1900s as two cottages, the house sits on what was once a busy drovers road between Peebles and Moffat. This route was heavily trafficked during the height of the droving trade in the 18th century, with thousands of cattle and sheep passing through annually. Tolls collected at this point contributed to the maintenance of roads and bridges, hence the property's name. Travellers who paid the toll received a ticket exempting them from further tolls within Peeblesshire for that day.

Today the property offers comfortable accommodation across two floors with bright and light interiors throughout. On the west side of the property is a welcoming entrance vestibule and hallway, which has a coat cupboard and door into the main sitting room. The main sitting room has a staircase to the first floor and is a flexible space with open fire to one end and a wood burner to the other. At the garden end of the property is a large kitchen with views to the hills and space for a dining table. The dual aspect kitchen is fitted with a range of traditionally styled units arranged along two walls. Adjacent is a further reception room with French doors to the garden / patio. At the other end of the building is a cosy sitting room with views to the hills and a wood burning stove. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a home office, bedroom / office 2 and utility room with shower room located off.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a large walk in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. A family bathroom services the other four bedrooms which all have a rural outlook over the surrounding landscape.

Old Toll sits in a generous plot of about 0.55 acres. The gardens have been well thought out and are a haven for wildlife. As well as a spacious gravel driveway there is a double garage / workshop / garden store set behind gates. A path leads from here to the front door and there is an area of paving which continues around to a south and west facing patio next to the kitchen. Beyond this there is an area of lawn and well kept colourful flowerbeds with a huge variety of plants and shrubs. Beyond the more formal garden is a wilder area with fruit trees which is bound by a mature hedge which gives shelter to the garden. There is a variety of mature trees which also sit on the boundary. The local area is rich in history and this continues into the garden of Old Toll where there is a Neolithic (Bronze Age) stone circle.
