Description
The Former Waterloo Club is a large, two-storey building with a basement, designed to accommodate a sloping site. It features a lower two-storey porch wing to the right of the center. The building has a stucco finish on a plinth at the ground floor and roughcast in large fragments on the first floor. The roof is slate, with a large rendered ridge stack slightly set back to the left of the center. Some timber-framing is preserved on the west gable end, above the adjoining property, consisting of a corner post and tie-beam truss with collar. The façade dates from the 19th century and includes a moulded string course at the first floor, rusticated quoins on the porch wing, and hornless small-pane sash windows in moulded frames located just under the eaves of the upper storey.
The entrance is on the east side of the porch wing, featuring a slated lean-to canopy supported by slender iron posts, with balustrading on the north side. Inside, there is a six-panel door with panelled sides, and above the entrance, a moulded rectangular panel that once had an inscription. The west side of the porch wing has a 12-pane sash window on each storey. To the left of the porch wing, the main range has three windows, with a wide entrance leading to a through-passage on the far left, featuring an inset boarded door, a 16-pane sash window in the center, and a small-pane top-hung window to the right. The upper storey has 16-pane hornless sashes on the left and center, and a 3-over-6-pane sash on the right. To the right of the porch wing, there is a two-window section with 16-pane sashes on the left and 12-pane sashes on the right. The basement, set into a high plinth, contains a boarded door on the right and a two-light wooden casement in a raised surround on the left. The west gable end features a three-light wooden casement with quarries in the attic and a 12-pane horned sash window on the far left of the first floor, located just below the tie-beam. The rear of the building was not seen.
