Description
The Good Companions Club, formerly a house, is now a club with a service wing attached to the left. It was built in the early 19th century and features Flemish bond gault brick and a hipped Welsh slate roof with end stacks. The building has a double depth central entrance plan and is two storeys high. The front of the main house has three bays, with the center bay projecting slightly and adorned with corner pilasters, all beneath a moulded stucco cornice. The windows are designed to resemble Venetian windows, featuring sashes with six panes below and ten above, set under stone round-headed arches. These are flanked by recessed sliding louvred shutters under flat arches, with continuous stone sills. All these details appear to be original.
The entrance boasts a stone Ionic doorcase with a frieze decorated with two wreaths, a cornice, and an entablature. The service wing has a 20th-century cornice tile roof and features a two-window range with 12-pane sashes in reveals under flat brick arches, along with paired central and two angle inset pilaster strips. In front of the service wing, there is a wall topped with cast-iron floriated spikes. To the right, there is a 20th-century single storey extension. At the rear, a mid-20th-century ground floor extension has been added, while the rendered first floor retains a tripartite facade with two outer segmental bows featuring c.1900 barred casements and a central c.1820 blank quatrefoil with a plaster frame. Recessed pilaster strips articulate the elevation, and the right return includes a first floor sash window in a recessed panel.
