MOULSECOOMB PLACE, Moulsecoomb Place Description
Dated: 24 September 1939
The property which is very old comprises, for the main part, a seventeenth century building with a large conservatory at the front and, I understand, a thirteenth century cottage at the rear and adjoining mill premises now partly used as garages, workshops and accommodation for the Park's and Gardens Department Social Club.
The top floor centre portion has been converted into a self-contained flat whilst the first and ground floors beneath it, form a licensed club known as The Moulsecoomb Social Club.
The three ground floor front rooms and lean to conservatory of the main portion are occupied by the parks and Gardens Department.
There is also a lodge house at the main entrance which is occupied by the caretaker.
For the purpose of this schedule I have excluded the three ground floor front rooms and lean to conservatory and the rear garages, workshops and Social Club accommodation and Gardens Department, the thirteenth century cottage which has no sanitary accommodation and is I understand unfit for human habitation or storage purposes and the lodge which will almost essentially be required by the Corporation for housing the caretaker who no doubt would be in attendance should the property be occupied by the army.
The defects incorporated in this schedule form the outstanding ones since the general condition of the property is poor, somewhat dilapidated and neglected and with the exception of the flat and a portion of the Moulsecoomb Social Club requires redecorating throughout.
The general condition of the flat is, with the exception of the scheduled defects, good. I understand it was redecorated throughout about two years ago when the present tenant took occupation. The decoration has been well preserved whilst all fittings and fixtures appear to be complete and in working order.
The accommodation used by the Moulsecoomb Social Club was I understand redecorated at the tenant's expense sometime last year. It is now, with the exception of the back parlour, table tennis room and W.C., in quite good condition.
All fittings with the exception of those scheduled as missing or defective are, although old-fashioned, complete and in working order. The electric lighting and central heating systems are in satisfactory working order, whilst all sanitary apparatus functions correctly.
The exterior condition of the property is poor, the woodwork, brickwork and pointing having deteriorated to some considerable extent. All paintwork requires renewing whilst the asphalted, slated, and tiled roofs need overhauling.

Moulsecoomb Place additional toilets
By 1944 the Moulsecoomb Social Club had a membership of about 300, with 150 often present at any one time. The need for additional toilets was raised and a plan dated 30 November 1944 shows the site where these were to be located.
