Description
80 Victoria Street in Kirkwall is a later 18th century house that has undergone some alterations and additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay building (with two bays at the ground level) and has a rectangular plan with a crowstep gable. The house features a stop-chamfered northeast angle and is adjacent to Number 86 to the south, which is listed separately. There is also a single-storey addition at the rear of the building.
The principal elevation faces west and includes a modern timber panelled door located in the bay to the right of centre, with an enlarged tripartite window to the left. Above, there are three evenly spaced windows on the first floor.
The north side elevation is blank and has a gablehead stack above. The windows are 8-pane timber sash and case, and there is a large rooflight on the west pitch. The roof is covered with grey slate and features a stone ridge, with harled, corniced gablehead stacks on both the north and south sides. The building primarily uses cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1998.
