Conservative Club

The Conservative Club is a house that has been converted into a club, likely built in the late 18th century and remodeled in the early to mid-19th century. It features a solid rendered front and a slate roof, with rendered chimneys on each gable end. The building has a square plan with a central entrance passage and a rear stair compartment that has a curved, projecting wall. To the left, there is a long rear wing of uncertain age, and to the right, the rear yard has been built over with a ballroom.

The structure is two stories tall and has a three-window range. The ground floor includes a round-arched central doorway with a reeded architrave that has a keyblock, and the inner jambs of the architrave are adorned with attached pilasters featuring an incised key-pattern. Inside the porch, there is a groined vault with a foliated boss at the apex, leading to an inner doorway with a six-panelled door and similar pilasters. Flanking the doorway are two large segmental bow windows, each with three lights. Between the lights and at either side, there are pilasters with an incised key-pattern, supporting an entablature with paired brackets at the cornice. A raised band runs between the storeys, and all windows are six-paned sashes. The eaves cornice is deeply projecting and has paired brackets.

The interior, which was only inspected on the ground floor, features a doorway at the rear of the entrance passage with a semi-circular fanlight that has patterned glazing. There is a wooden geometrical staircase with slender turned balusters, square necking-pieces, shaped step-ends, and a handrail that is voluted at the foot of the stair. In the stair compartment wall between the ground and first floors, there are two round-headed semi-circular niches and a tall, round-arched small-paned window. The front left-hand room has an enriched cornice and a chandelier-boss, while other ground-floor rooms have been completely altered in the late 20th century.

The earliest known reference to a house on this site dates back to an 1839 lease to Susannah Glynn, spinster, although the first lease for the site was for two stables in 1701.
