In 2011 Tim Jenkinson wrote: “Having undergone some renovation in the past year this old toll-house that was once under threat of demolition c2007 still survives at the junction of the once packhorse road from Wrangaton with that of the old A38 in South Brent at Brent Bridge. There is a distinctive porch.

Now seemingly given a stay of execution thanks to protestations from local parishioners it stands near enough opposite an old limestone marker of the Ashburton Turnpike Trust on the boundary of their responsibility as it passed to the Plymouth Eastern Trust.

In 2022 the toll-house was revisited and shown to be in a good state, having been repainted and renamed to ‘Bridge Cottage’. The building is sited beside what was the old, old A38, having been bypassed twice.
