Description

The Liberal Club is a building from the late 17th century and early 18th century, constructed of ashlar with a hipped slate roof featuring cambered-head dormers and casements that have glazing bars. It has two storeys and five windows, with the first-floor windows having deep roll bolection moulding surrounds. The ground floor windows are similar but have a flat moulded cornice above them. The building is adorned with narrow angle pilasters and a moulded eaves-cornice topped with a pediment over the middle three windows. There is a moulded diamond-shaped panel in the tympanum that features a flower motif.

The central doorway is square-headed with a stone surround that includes carved leaf motifs and head-and-billet mouldings. Flanking pilasters have surface panel decorations and grotesque heads as caps. The entrance is topped with a broken "serpentine" pediment on enriched brackets. A raised and paved forecourt leads up to the building with five steps from the road, flanked by stone side walls with stone scroll brackets that abut the house walls. Wrought-iron railings line the frontage, and there is a wrought-iron gateway with an arched lamp bracket.

The Liberal Club is part of a group of buildings that includes The Three Horseshoes and Nos 1 to 4 Frome Road, The Baptist Chapel, the Congregational Church and Hall, and several other properties on St Margaret's Street and St Margaret's Hill.
