Description
Stepps Country Club is a 16th-century house that has been converted into club premises. It is constructed from stone rubble and flint, topped with a thatched roof featuring gabled ends. The building is two storeys high and has a long, widely spaced six-window range, with the right-hand side slightly recessed. The windows include one, two, three, and five-light casements with leaded panels. To the left of the centre, there is a heavy timber doorway with a four-centred arch. A drip moulding is present over a window in the east gable end, and the rear features ovolo moulded and chamfered mullion windows. The front has two external stone chimney stacks with set-offs and moulded caps, along with stone end and ridge stacks that also have moulded caps, with the end stack being corbelled and two ridge stacks having been rebuilt. There is a small lean-to addition made of stone rubble, dating from the 18th to 19th century, on the left side.
Inside, the building features jointed cruck trusses and three plank and muntin screens, one of which has a blocked pointed arch doorway while the other has a four-centred arch doorway. The screen to the cross-passage has been removed. The ceilings have heavy stopped chamfer beams, and there is an open fireplace with a chamfered stone surround. Additionally, there is another stone chimneypiece with a chamfered four-centred arch and a 19th-century moulded wood chimneypiece. A 17th-century moulded plaster frieze on the first floor displays acanthus leaves and the date "16..".
