A house fire that destroyed a heritage home in Vic West on Tuesday flared up again on Friday.

Victoria Fire Department was called back on site for a structure fire at 223 Roberts Street, after first battling a major fire that rendered the heritage home unliveable on Tuesday.

Smoke and flames were spotted emanating from the property on Tuesday afternoon but were brought under control by 2:30 p.m.

The property, which was constructed in 1903, is a one-and-one-half storey wood frame house that received recognition as a heritage home in 1975.
