Description
Bicester Snooker Club is a former Congregational chapel built in 1728, with alterations and extensions made around 1840 and 1873, and converted for use as a club in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of limestone rubble and chequer brick, featuring some ashlar dressings, and has Welsh-slate roofs. The central block is flanked by lower wings that create a forecourt.
The main façade has five windows made of brick with blue headers, rising from a rubble plinth. It features tall round-arched windows with 19th-century architraves and wooden tracery. The left bay has been modified to include a rose window above a newly added porch with a pediment, which contains a round-arched doorway surrounded by rusticated stone blocks. The hipped roof has boxed eaves that break in the center below a small triangular pediment, with only the pediment retaining the deep plaster cove.
The low wings are made with yellow headers, and their front gable walls have arched windows with wooden "Gothic" tracery. The right wing features a gable parapet, while the left wing returns beside the main block and includes sash windows. The sides and rear of the main block are in rubble and contain additional arched and rose windows. Inside, the upper room retains the boarded ceiling of the chapel, which also has a deep plaster cove.
