Victoria House

Victoria House is a house that has been converted into a combination of residential and shop spaces. Originally built in the 16th century, it was extended in the 17th century and underwent alterations and cladding in 1721. The structure features a timber frame that is clad with painted brick and ornamental tile hanging, while the right side has plain hung tiles and the rear wing displays exposed small panel framing with painted brick infill and tile hanging on the first floor. The roofs are plain tiled.

The main block has a lobby entry plan and is extended to the left and rear. It consists of two storeys built on a plinth with quoins and a gabled roof to the right, featuring a central left stack. On the first floor, there are four segmentally headed openings, including two three-light wooden casements and a two-light casement to the right, with a blank space to the centre left that contains a small finialed aedicule inscribed with "I.F. 1721." The ground floor has two segmentally headed casements, with the three-light window to the centre right lowered to the plinth and now serving as a shop window, and a two-light window to the right with a flying cornice above. A half-glazed door to the centre left is topped with a large flat hood supported by brackets and pilasters.

The left side of the ground floor is occupied by a late 19th-century shop front featuring plate glass bays and a central glazed door beneath a single fascia on pilasters with pedimented brackets. A similar but larger shop front extends over the left-hand extension, which is slightly canted towards the roadside and has two storeys and an attic with a half-hipped roof and a hipped dormer, along with a three-light casement on the first floor. The gabled rear wing is two storeys high, has an end stack, and shows some exposed framing.

Inside, the ground floor room to the right of the main entrance, now a butcher's shop, was once a principal room of the old house. It features a finely moulded cross-beamed ceiling, a bresummer, a large blocked fireplace, and clear evidence of a jetty on the front elevation. The left-hand wing also has moulded ceiling beams.
