Description
Victoria House, the Alliance & Leicester Building Society, is a Georgian building dating from the 18th century. It features a three-storey facade with two windows, constructed from scribed stucco and set on a plinth. The roof is modern with corrugated tiles, wide bracket eaves, and cement render chimney stacks. The small-pane sash windows have later hoodmoulds and stops, although the right-hand ground floor window lacks ornamentation.
On the first floor, there is a splayed oriel window to the right, adorned with a moulded cornice. The central entrance boasts a Georgian doorcase with a wide cornice and broad reeded pilasters, along with panelled reveals and a modern door. The right corner of the building features a splayed design with a figurehead of Queen Victoria, who is depicted carrying an orb and sceptre, positioned on a bracketed ledge above a decorative panel.
The Eastgate elevation mirrors the two-window design and has a stepped-up plinth, with a splayed oriel window on the left side.
