Description

The Conservative Club, formerly a house, likely dates back to the 18th century and was remodelled in the 19th century. The building is constructed of stuccoed stone rubble and has a slate roof with a hipped end on the left and a half-hipped end on the right.

Originally designed with a single depth, two-room and cross-passage layout, it was heated by end stacks and extended to the rear right with an 18th-century service wing, creating an overall 'L' shape. Further 19th-century extensions were added to the rear.

The front of the building is symmetrical, with two windows. A central 19th-century door is framed by a moulded architrave. Early 19th-century hornless 16-pane sash windows occupy both the ground and first floors, with the right-hand windows having moulded architraves. Dormers with 20th-century windows light the attic. A lower wing extends to the rear left, featuring 19th and 20th-century windows.

The entrance hall features a plaster cornice with an egg and dart motif dating to the early 19th century. A staircase, also dating to the early to mid-19th century, and a 20th-century chimney-piece are located in the left-hand room. The interior was not fully inspected.

The Conservative Club sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 89% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 10 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 90% of listed buildings. Of these, 4 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
