Description

The Tropic Club is a house that has been converted into a club, dating from the late 18th century. It features a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, and the roof is not visible. The building has a single-depth plan and stands three storeys high with a basement, displaying a three-window range in a mid-Georgian style.

The entrance boasts a wide central semicircular-arched doorway adorned with a fine batswing fanlight, margin lights, and reeded jambs and transom. The ground floor includes bow windows with three 6/6-pane sash windows, cornices, and parapets. The first floor features tripartite outer windows, while the remaining windows are plate-glass sashes. The ground floor is enclosed by a glazed porch with stained-glass windows, and there is a left-hand side entrance that has a keyed and moulded semicircular-arched doorway, pilasters leading to an entablature, and a raised pediment that contains a cartouche and swag.

Inside, the club has a fully panelled central hall and a left-hand front room, with a semicircular hall arch and open-well stairs.
