Victoria House, 133 Dunnikier Road, Kirkcaldy

Victoria House, located at 133 Dunnikier Road in Kirkcaldy, is a villa built in the later part of the 19th century. This two-storey, three-bay structure features a single-storey wing at the rear. The exterior is constructed from stugged squared and snecked rubble, complemented by contrasting droved quoins and dressings. It has a base course and a moulded eaves gutter, with segmental-headed windows on the first floor and dormer-headed windows above.

On the south elevation, the central bay has an advanced doorcase set in a re-entrant angle, featuring engaged colonnettes with decorative capitals and a ropework-moulded doorhead beneath a cornice and deep blocking course. The entrance includes a deep-set panelled timber door and a plate glass fanlight. To the right, there is a bipartite window, and above, two windows on the first floor break the eaves into gabled dormerheads adorned with circular moulding. The left side has an advanced gabled bay with a canted tripartite window, a cornice, and a blocking course at the ground level, a bipartite window above, and a decorative panel in the finialled gablehead.

The east elevation facing Dunnikier Road features a blank gable to the left, with a window at the centre of the first floor and a pedimented window in the right bay. The north elevation shows asymmetrical fenestration on the piend-roofed single-storey wing projecting at ground level, with a recessed face above that has blank outer bays flanking a centre gable. This gable contains a four-light transomed stair window to the left and another window to the right.

On the west elevation, there is an advanced gable to the left with a tripartite window at ground level and a bipartite window above, along with a moulded panel in the gablehead. To the right of centre, there is a bipartite window with a pedimented window above, and another window to the left.
