The Counting House

The Counting House is a late 19th-century building designed in the Tudor style. It is constructed of stone and features two storeys. At the centre, there is a slightly projecting bay with sham timber framing on the first storey and a projecting gable. The bay includes a four-light mullioned and transomed window above a five-light mullioned and transomed window below. To the left, there is a canted bay that extends over two storeys, also with mullioned and transomed windows. On the right side, a polygonal bartisan is topped with a slated pinnacle roof featuring a finial. The building has two pointed arched doorways with hood moulds; the right doorway has a 16-fielded-panelled divided door, while the left has a similar door with 12 panels. Stone clustered stacks are present, and the roof is steep and hipped, covered in green slates. Additionally, there is a pointed arched gateway on the right-hand side. The Counting House, along with Nos 12 and 14 and the National Westminster Bank, forms a group with No 2 and the Bull's Head Hotel on Mill Street.
