Description

Millbank is circa 1837 with later 20th alterations, 2-storey, symmetrical 3-bay house with stone steps oversailing the ground floor leading to the raised first floor. In accordance with Section 1 (4A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 the following is excluded from the listing: the conservatory addition to the rear.

Millbank is built of coursed rubble with droved sandstone dressings. The building faces a main road on a triangular site of steeply sloping ground bordered to the rear by a side road. There is a later 19th century single storey square plan outbuilding to the east of the house.

The principal (north) elevation has a regular window pattern with an ashlar band course between the ground and first floors and an eaves course. The south elevation has an irregular window pattern with changes at the ground floor dating to 1973, including a new window opening and changing a window opening into a door. The east gable has a ground floor arched entrance with a timber door, and a single off set window at the first floor and there is a small brick lean-to outhouse to the left. There is a large continuous roof light spanning the rear roof pitch.

The roof is slated, has stone skews and reconstructed droved and corniced chimney stacks. The windows are later 20th century timber and multi-pane.

The interior of the building was seen in 2016 and has some 6 panel timber doors and an arch in the upper hallway which appear to date to when the building was first occupied. There are two later 20th century staircases. The ground floor plan was altered in the 1970s when the two floors were linked internally.

There is a single storey square-plan outbuilding to the east of the house, which is constructed in pebble-dashed brick and has a piended and pantiled roof. There are two doors and a window to the street elevation and a double garage door to its west elevation. The interior is divided into two parts and has a stone slab floor. There is a tether ring on the floor of the main space and metal hooks around the walls from when it was used a slaughter house. There are slots in the rear door to take a wooden bar to lock the door from the outside.
