Renishaw Park Golf Clubhouse

The Renishaw Park Golf Clubhouse, originally a farmhouse, dates back to the early 17th century, with significant alterations and additions in the 19th century and a major extension in 1914 designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.

The original house is constructed from rubble coal measures sandstone with quoins, coped gables featuring moulded kneelers, intermediate and end brick ridge stacks, and a concrete tiled roof. It has an L-shaped plan, with a long range extending to the west, which was altered and extended in the 19th century.

The south elevation is two storeys high and has five bays, with some 20th-century windows added. A gable projecting to the west contains a two-light chamfered mullioned window on the first floor and a single-light 17th-century opening to the attic above, now blocked. A ground floor opening has been replaced with a 20th-century window. A west bay of the attached range has a three-light chamfered mullioned window on the first floor; this is a single light with leaded quarries above a two-light casement in a 17th-century surround with a dripmoulding. A 20th-century half-glazed door is set within the angle of the two ranges, featuring a heavy lintel and remnants of an older surround. Remaining windows are two or three-light, some horizontal sliding sashes, and others 20th-century glazing bar casements.

The interior features a winder staircase with an oak newel post and a polygonal finial, and a timber and plaster smoke hood. A first-floor room contains early 17th-century wall paintings depicting two panels of a male figure dressed as Charles I, mounted on horseback and carrying swords, set against a background of birds, foliage, and flowers, painted in red and black on a white ground.

North-facing extensions are built with rendered brickwork and a tiled roof, with gable stacks. A concave three-bay garden front to the north-east has pilasters dividing the window bays, with wide tripartite glazed screens to each bay. These screens feature transom rails, with the central sections being doors, all with glazing bars and a deeply moulded eaves cornice. A mansard roof has three sash windows and a moulded timber cornice above. Splayed end walls have blind openings at the centre. Glazing bar sash windows are found in the linking range on the west side.

At the center of the building is a glazed dome, illuminating the meeting point of three internal corridors which radiate outwards through semi-circular double archways. Moulded architraves and skirtings are present, along with two-panelled doors throughout.
