Description
The Victory Public House is an early 19th century public house, with 20th century refurbishment and enlargement. It is constructed of brick, with rendered and colourwashed surfaces, and has slate roofs and red and gault brick stacks. The building is an irregular rectangle, comprising a 19th century double-pile section, a long 20th century rear addition, and a 20th century cross-block on the site of a former carriageway.
The east front consists of two units: an older range to the north and a rebuilt 20th century unit to the south. The older block has a three-window range and a central door, with stacks at the roof ridge. The doorway has a flat cornice hood and a simple frame, with a 20th century door. Above the door is a window with 3x4 panes and three lower panels. To the north of the doorway are two 19th century long sash windows with 7x4 panes. To the south of the doorway is a 20th century single window with two conjoined horned sashes, each with 5x4 panes and a broad central stile. The first floor has two sliding sashes, one 4x3 panes, one 2x2 panes, and a 2-light casement window 4x3 panes. The 20th century unit to the south is similar, with a long ground floor sash window (6x4 panes) and a first floor sliding sash window (4x3 panes), also a skylight.
The rear, west elevation is largely obscured by a 20th century ground floor addition, but two first floor segment-headed 19th century sliding sash windows remain, along with a 20th century single light casement. The ground floor addition has a four-panel door, the upper two panels glazed, and an internal lobby containing two doors with glazed upper panels, a casement window (3x4 panes) and another of 3 lights (6x3 panes), plus four 20th century metal casement windows, one 2-light and three single.
The south end has a 20th century gabled unit, with the ground floor obscured by a single-storey addition. The first floor has a 2-light casement window (4x3 panes). The north end has two 19th century twin gabled units, each with a ridge stack, moulded bargeboards decorated with projecting lozenges, and ground floor single 20th century fixed lights. A rear ground floor 20th century addition has a moulded facia board and a 2-light casement window with 4x4 panes.
The interior is plain.
