Description
The Services Club, originally a house, dates from around 1820 and is now used as a clubhouse. It is constructed of coursed ironstone with a rendered and colourwashed front and features a hipped concrete tile roof. The building has a plinth and a first-floor band, with four rendered ridge stacks. It is two storeys high and has three bays in an L-plan layout. The south front showcases a central doorcase with a pediment, supported by Doric piers, and a half-glazed door. This is flanked by single round-headed recesses that contain round-headed margin light sashes. On the west side, there are three margin light French windows with overlights to the right, and above these, there are three margin light sashes.
