Victoria Hotel

The Victoria Hotel is a hotel that was formerly a coaching inn, built in the early 18th century. The central section of the building is rendered, while the wings are made of painted brick. It features a crude moulded cornice over a stone fascia, with black and white painted and modelled quoins in the center and painted quoins on the brickwork sections. The roof is made of Welsh slate.

This long, narrow structure consists of four units, partly arranged in a parallel range, with three gables and a pilastered unit at the rear. It stands two storeys tall with a complex street front. The central unit has paired sash windows in heavy stone surrounds topped with steep pediments, with three paired sash windows above, all without bars. To the left, there are four sash windows above one casement and one late triple sash window; to the right, there is one sash window followed by two more sash windows, all with glazing bars.

A deep flat-topped portico with four Doric columns features good moulded bases but crude caps, along with an architrave and moulded cornice. This portico responds to the wall and has modern doors that were added around 1840. At the back, the major left unit is rendered and has paired pilasters in the center bay and single pilasters at the flanks, containing three-window aedicules at the principal level with sashes that have glazing bars, plus one new door to the right. Above these are three square sunk blank panels, paired sashes with bars in a double-gabled feature to the right, and a round-headed stair window in the center.

Inside, there is an oak dog-leg stair with a returned landing and a curved well, dating from the early 18th century or late 17th century. The stair features three turned balusters per tread and a handrail that is wreathed at the foot and over Serlian pillars. The entrance hall has a low, wide elliptical opening with plain Tuscan responds. At the head of the stair, there are a pair of fluted Doric pilasters, an elliptical arch to the left, and a fine dentilled cornice. The landing has a window with panel surrounds and a dado, which includes a panel of painted glass dated 1622. One room features 18th-century painted panelling over the entrance, along with various chamfered and stopped beams and many panelled doors.
