Description
Victoria House, located at 121 Victoria Road in Kirkcaldy, is a two-storey and attic, three-bay Queen Anne villa designed by William Williamson in 1897. The building features a swept roof and is constructed from stugged red sandstone rubble with polished ashlar dressings. It has base and first-floor cill courses, as well as a mutuled cornice. The stonework includes chamfered and moulded arrises and stone mullions.
On the principal (north) elevation, the central bay is highlighted by a stylised Gibbsean surround framing a segmental-pedimented doorcase. This doorcase features a foliate-carved tympanum and a two-leaf panelled timber door with decorative wrought-iron over top-lights. To the left, there is a bipartite window, and to the right, an advanced canted quadripartite window with a cornice and deep blocking course in a gabled bay. The first floor has a small bipartite window in the centre and left bays, with another bipartite window to the right that includes a glazed shaped vesica in the gablehead.
The south elevation's ground floor is not visible, but it features a large decorative-astragalled window at the first floor, with a broad timber dormer window above. The east elevation is blank, except for a glazed vesica in the nepus gable that breaks the eaves at the centre. The west elevation includes a piend and platform-roofed garage at ground level, with a small window above and a shouldered stack breaking the eaves.
The villa has decorative-astragalled upper sashes over plate glass lower sashes on the north elevation, while small-pane glazing is used elsewhere, all in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are cavetto-coped ashlar stacks and ashlar-coped skews with flat skewputts. Cast-iron downpipes feature decorative rainwater hoppers.
The boundary walls consist of semicircular-coped rubble, complemented by cavetto-coped, ball-finialled, banded gatepiers and decorative cast-iron gates.
