Panmure Golf Club Near Barry

The Panmure Golf Club building near Barry was constructed around 1899 and has undergone several expansions and remodellings. Thomas Martin Cappon extended and remodelled the building around 1904, with further extensions in 1913, circa 1960, and between 1989 and 1990. It is a multi-phase golf clubhouse of single and attic stories, with an irregular plan facing the golf course to the west. The principal west-facing elevation features decorative, scrolled plaster relief to its gables.

The building is rendered with red sandstone ashlar cills and veranda copes and has a broad, mutuled eaves course. Openings are predominantly flat-arched, and gables feature open-bed pediments. Venetian dormer windows are set into the west-facing elevation.

The west elevation is dominated by a two-story, square-plan tower at its center, incorporating an integral clock tower, linked to flanking gables by ranges with open verandas. The central tower has an advanced ground floor with full-width timber mullion and transom glazing. A door with a multi-pane fanlight and sidelights is set into both returns. A first-floor balcony is supported by a timber balustrade, and a bipartite opening to the right combines a door and window. The clock tower is octagonal, topped with a bracketed square-plan cope and an ogee roof, which includes a flagpole. To the right of the tower, a range features overhanging eaves supported on truncated columns with shallow walls to form a veranda. This section has a bipartite window flanked by single windows facing a set-back face, all with shallow arches. A shallow arched, tripartite window is set into a gable to the further right. To the left of the tower, a range features a single column supporting a veranda, and the set-back face has a tripartite window with timber mullions and transom. An advanced gable to the further left has a seven-light, bowed, and corniced window.

The south (entrance) elevation comprises a five-bay block to the left, with an advanced three-bay gable and shallow arched openings, and a two-bay, piended-roof block to the right. The gabled block has a five-light bay window to the outer right, linked by a recessed entrance added in the late 20th century.

The north elevation features a pair of gables, with the left one advanced and containing a five-light bay window. A tall, rendered wall with an ashlar cope adjoins the left gable.

The building largely retains six-pane over plate glass windows in timber sash and case frames. The pitched roof is covered in grey slates with bellcast eaves, and rendered, coped ridge stacks have cylindrical clay cans.

The interior, viewed in 2012, is characterised by original timber fixtures, including panelling to dado height, moulded architraves, and elaborate fireplaces. The principal club room has a large inglenook fireplace set within a segmental arched opening on the west wall, flanked by fluted pilasters with scrolled bracket capitals and a segmental arched, mutuled pediment. The ceiling has a dentilled cornice. The dining room has exposed roof timbers, supported by plain timber pilasters with scrolled capitals. The rear of the bar features multi-pane glazing and stained glass detailing.
