Club House Of Rotherham Golf Club Thrybergh Park

The Club House of Rotherham Golf Club, located in Thrybergh Park, is a country house built around 1820 by John Webb for Colonel Fullerton. Constructed from ashlar sandstone with a Welsh slate roof, the building features a main range with five bays and a T-shaped wing that has a tower projection at the front. It stands two storeys high, with a low three-storey tower, and is designed in the Tudor revival style, incorporating some Gothick details.

The central bay of the main range projects forward and is flanked by octagonal three-stage corner turrets. The building has a plinth and a central single-storey porch with a Tudor-arched arcade, where the piers rise as crocketted pinnacles. Above the porch is a canted oriel bay window, with two single-storey bay windows on either side, each beneath two first-floor windows. There are continuous moulded sill bands and hoodmoulds, with ground-floor windows featuring narrow 10-pane sashes with Gothick glazing bars, and cross windows on the first floor. Between the hoodmoulds on the first floor, square projections rise as miniature embattled turrets. The building is topped with an embattled parapet that returns around the structure. The corner turrets have lancet windows on the lower stages and cruciform arrowloops on the upper stage.

The right wing, which is set back, has five lower bays. It features doors in bays one and four, with multiple 8-pane sashes in the other bays. The front corner tower has offset diagonal buttresses, paired 8-pane sashes, and unequal 6-pane sashes on the second storey, along with a corbel table beneath the parapet. The rear of the building includes two cylindrical turrets that rise as spirelets, flanking a tall pointed window with blind intersecting tracery, and features raking embattlements on the gable. The left return mirrors the front, with offset buttresses between the bays that rise as turrets, and doorways in bays one and five. Ground-floor openings in bays one to three have pointed arches.

Inside, there is a rib-vaulted entrance hall and a cantilevered imperial staircase leading to the rear, which is adorned with an iron balustrade. The ground-floor rooms to the left feature ornate plaster cornices. There is a small 20th-century addition to the rear of the wing that is not of special interest.
