Description
Victoria House is a building that now serves as a shop and dwelling. It features a 17th-century range at the rear and a front range from the late 18th century. The structure is made of whitewashed brick and has an old tile roof with boxed eaves and brick ridge stacks, forming an L-plan. The building stands three storeys tall and has a three-window range. The late 19th-century shop front includes a central set of glazed double-leaf doors and canted bays, along with a half-glazed six-panelled door with an overlight on the left. The front is adorned with wooden pilasters, brackets, and a dentil frieze. The upper floors are fitted with sash windows, with the first floor featuring two canted bays; the central window of each bay has a four-centred head and Gothick glazing. The central windows on the first floor are round-arched but have been blocked. At the rear, there are twin gables and some leaded light casements. The ground floor has been extended on the left side. The 17th-century timber-framed range, which was formerly a coach house or stabling, has been incorporated into the house and features jowled posts with whitewashed brick infill. This range includes two canted bays with sashes, one of which has the date 1809 scratched on the window pane. The interior has been altered, but it contains a mid to late 19th-century straight flight staircase with heavy turned balusters.
