The Millfield, Glenlyon Road, Leven

The Millfield is a public house dating from 1900, with alterations made in the 1960s. It is a two-storey and attic, three-bay, rectangular building featuring a distinctive pagoda-style tower, oriel windows, and a portico-style porch. The exterior is constructed from dressed, squared, and snecked rubble with harl, and incorporates stugged ashlar margins. A part base course is visible, along with a consoled balconette, a corbelled chimney breast, moulded windowheads, roundheaded openings to the porch, and a segmentally-pedimented window. Chamfered arrises and stone mullions are also present.

The principal, south-west elevation showcases a five-part arcaded timber porch on an ashlar base, centrally positioned. The porch contains a part-glazed, two-leaf door within the centre arch, flanked by glazed arches with decorative astragal glazing. The outer arches and returns are open. Above this is a tripartite window with narrow outer lights on the first floor and a small, canted tripartite oriel window below a blank shield within the gablehead. A full-height polygonal tower extends to the outer left, featuring a four-light window on each floor. The ground floor windowheads are moulded and the first floor has a frieze of blind shields, transitioning to deeply overhanging eaves of a flared polygonal roof. A vented, pagoda-style apex and decorative cast-iron finial complete the tower’s roof. A pedimented window is present in the bay to the right of centre at ground level, with a bipartite window positioned close to the eaves above.

The north-west elevation, a three-bay arrangement, incorporates a low, modern extension to the outer left. A window occupies the centre bay at ground level, with a bipartite window to the left and a blank bay to the right (the window in the outer right bay being part of the canted window facing south-west). A dated shield adjoins the cornice on the south-west side. The first floor’s centre bay features a decorative cast-iron balustrade above a semicircular stone balconette, and a roll-moulded, corniced, and decoratively-astragalled window. A bipartite window is located in the bay to the left, and stepped corbelling appears at the base of the chimney breast on the right. The attic floor has a window above the stone balconette in a part-gable to the left, a canted tripartite oriel window to the centre bay, and a slightly projecting stack that breaks the eaves to the right.

The south-east elevation is dominated by a blank gable to the left of centre, featuring a canted tripartite oriel in the gablehead. Windows are present on each floor at the centre, with a bipartite window on the ground floor, aligned below a small, horizontally-aligned window near the eaves at first floor level. A lower, modern extension is attached to the outer right.

The windows are timber sash and case styles, with four-pane and plate glazing patterns, and small-pane upper lights to the north-west and south-east oriel windows. Leaded stained glass is found in the first floor’s centre window on the north-west elevation. The roof is covered with grey slates, and incorporates coped, banded, and shouldered ashlar stacks with cans. Cast-iron downpipes include decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings.

The interior is modern, but retains panelled soffits to the decorative coloured window on the first floor, and a timber-balustered dogleg staircase leading to the attic.
