Description
Bournmoor Cricket Club House, originally a National School, was built in 1870. It features polychrome brickwork in buff with light-red banding and diaperwork, a light-red plain tiled roof, and brick chimney stacks, with hung Welsh slates on the spirelet.
The main block, which faces the cricket field, is one storey plus an attic and consists of six bays. It has a central buttress with offsets, flanked by segmental-headed windows that have been replaced with casements, while the other bays contain paired lancets. There is a dentilled eaves band and six dormers with boarded windows and hipped roofs. The steeply-pitched roof has coped gable parapets and crested ridge tiles, along with a central octagonal ridge spirelet featuring slightly-swept eaves and a short arcaded belfry. The building has end stacks and set-back lean-to porches on both sides, each with two-order pointed doorways, although the left porch is blocked.
Behind the porches are single-storey, three-bay wings that run parallel to the main front; the right wing is partly obscured by a late 20th-century addition, while the left wing has blocked paired lancets and steeply-pitched roofs. The rear of the main block has four linked gabled wings, with projecting end wings that contain large pointed windows, although the right wing's window is blocked. The lower central wings are hidden by a late 20th-century addition. The later additions on the returns and rear are not of special interest.
