Description
17 Victoria Street, including the boundary wall, is a semi-detached cottage designed around 1843, possibly by Archibald Simpson, and built around 1850. The building has undergone later alterations to add a mansard roof. It is a single storey and attic structure with three bays, constructed from finely finished granite rubble with a base course, projecting cills, an eaves course, and timber gableted dormers on the attic floor.
The southwest elevation is symmetrical, featuring a central doorway on the ground floor with a panelled timber door and a letterbox fanlight. This doorway is flanked by single windows on either side. The attic floor has a bipartite dormer in the center, with tripartite dormers on both sides.
The southeast elevation has a gabled design with an opening at the base course level. It includes a central window, a small window to the left, and a window set to the right of the gablehead above, along with a doorway leading to a flat-roofed addition on the right.
The northeast elevation was not visible in 2000, and the northwest elevation is obscured by an adjoining building.
The cottage features predominantly 2-pane and 4-pane timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a lead ridge, with coped gablehead stacks that have circular and octagonal cans. The property also includes cast-iron rainwater goods.
The boundary wall is a low granite wall located to the southwest of the building.
