Leven Villa, 26-28 Kirkgate, Burntisland

Leven Villa, located at 26-28 Kirkgate in Burntisland, is a classical house built in the mid to later 19th century, with some later additions. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure featuring a piend and platform roof. The exterior is constructed of squared and snecked rubble with harl, and includes ashlar long and short quoins along with quoin strips. Architectural details include a base course, a first-floor cill course, a cavetto eaves cornice, and a blocking course, as well as an architraved doorcase, stone margins, and hoodmoulds.

The east elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a central panelled door with a plate glass fanlight above. To the right is a chamfered wind with a slated roof, and to the left is a full-height chamfered window. The first floor features a window in the center and another in the bay to the right.

On the west elevation, there is a window in the bay to the right on both floors. A lower two-storey L-plan wing, which is a 19th-century extension, covers the left and center bays. This wing includes a door in the re-entrant, an adjacent window to the right, and a large window at the first floor right, with a flight of stone steps leading to a first-floor door on the return to the right. The projecting arm to the left has an attached polygonal outhouse on its west face and a window at both floors on the return to the right.

The south elevation consists of two bays, featuring a window with a hoodmould in the bay to the right at ground level and a window to the left. The first floor has a window to the right and a blinded window to the left.

The north elevation has a small window near the center and windows with hoodmoulds in the flanking bays, with windows to the right and left at the first floor. There is also an extension with a window to the outer right.

The first-floor windows are timber sash and case with a 12-pane glazing pattern, while the ground floor features plate glass glazing in uPVC windows. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are shouldered and battered coped ashlar wallhead stacks.

An attached polygonal out-house has a timber door to the northwest, a modern door to the west, a low blinded opening that may serve as a coal chute to the southwest, and another door to the south.

The property is enclosed by a boundary wall, which consists of an ashlar coped rubble wall to the east and north, and a random rubble wall with openings to the south and west. The boundary features coped ashlar gatepiers with decorative cast-iron gates and railings.
