Gloucester Country Club

Gloucester Country Club, formerly known as Larkham Farm House, is a farmhouse that dates back to around 1600. It features a front addition from 1866 and was converted into a country club with significant extensions around 1974. The building is constructed with a timber frame and dressed stone, topped with tiled roofs and stone stacks that have diagonally set flues. The 19th-century addition is made of brick and is integrated into the angle of the timber-framed range and the stone wing.

The exterior is two storeys high with an attic. The timber-framed section includes timber casements, while the stone wing has mullioned casements adorned with eared hoodmoulds and moulded stone cornices on the chimney flues. At the rear, above the doorway, there is a part of the coat of arms of the Duke of Buckingham, which is moulded in plaster.

Inside, the club features tiled floors and several rooms that contain reused 18th-century panelling sourced from the Church of St Katherine in Matson, which was removed before its 19th-century rebuilding. There are also open fireplaces throughout the interior. Historically, the farmhouse served as a billet for the Duke of Buckingham in 1643 during the Siege of Gloucester, when King Charles I was at the former Matson House, now Selwyn School.
