Victory House

Victory House is a house that has been converted into a club, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of roughcast brick and features a plain tile roof with a brick end stack. The building stands three stories high and has a five-window range, with 6/6 sash windows set in beaded stone cases, which include stone head and sill bands. There are also late 19th-century 3/3 sashes in similar settings above. The deep eaves have a boarded soffit. The entrance is located to the center-right and consists of a 20th-century six-panel door within a panelled case, topped with a moulded wood entablature and plain pilasters. To the right of the entrance is one 6/6 sash window, and to the left are three more in similar settings.

At the rear, there is a large two-storey wing with a hipped plain tile roof and a ridge stack. This wing features six 9/6 sash windows under gauged brick flat arches, along with five hipped gable dormers, each containing 2-light casements. A smaller parallel wing has two sashes under gauged brick cambered arches, a tall 20th-century staircase window under a cambered arch, and 20th-century casements above.

Inside, the entrance hall and another room on the ground floor have panelled walls. The open-well staircase is notable for its two turned, vase-shaped balusters on each tread and a ramped and moulded handrail with a wreathed curtail. The lower walls feature ramped panelling, and above the first landing and subsequent flight, there is a mural painted by Bruce Bairnsfather. This mural depicts a soldier in front of a ruin and is inscribed with the words ‘Old soldiers never die / they simply fade away,’ signed and dated ‘Bruce / Bairnsfather / 47’. Additionally, the two front rooms on the first floor have been combined into one space.
