Description
Leven House Hotel, located on Comrie Road in Crieff, is an early 19th-century building dated 1879. It is a two-part terraced hotel featuring a two-storey and attic four-bay house with a nepus gable, alongside a taller two-bay block that has a corbelled oriel window and a Second Empire roof. The exterior is constructed of squared and snecked rubble, accented with ashlar quoin strips and dressings, and includes base and eaves courses as well as stone mullions.
On the west (principal) elevation, there are four original bays on the right. The entrance is immediately to the right of the centre, featuring a keystoned, ball-finialled round-headed doorpiece with fielded panels and blocked lights beside flanking pilasters, topped with a semicircular plate glass fanlight. The windows in the flanking bays and the regular fenestration above these three bays are original, while there is a later bipartite window on each floor at the outer left. The nepus gable has two small windows above the centre bays, flanked by slate-hung bipartite dormers. To the left, there are two later bays with a window to the left of centre and an adjacent boarded timber door with a plate glass fanlight beyond. These flank the base of the corbelled canted oriel at the first floor, which leads to a three-part, round-headed dormer window with decorative mouldings and keystones. There is also a bay to the right of centre with another door, a plate glass fanlight, and flanking embossed metal signs that read 'LEVEN HOUSE BOARD AND RESIDENCE' to the left, along with an adjacent window to the right, a single window on the first floor, and a single dormer above, detailed as previously described.
The east (rear) elevation features a variety of elements in a stepped design, including a piended projection to the left of centre and three round-headed dormers with a shouldered wallhead stack to the right.
The north elevation has a gabled bay at the centre with a tall stair window and a broad gablehead stack. The windows are timber sash and case, with 4-pane and plate glass glazing patterns, including a margined 4-pane stair window. The roof is covered with grey slates, featuring a diamond pattern on the Empire roof to the southwest. The building has coped ashlar stacks with cans, ashlar-coped skews with moulded skewputts, and decorative cast-iron downpipes with a dated decorative rainwater hopper and fixings, along with profiled guttering.
The interior was not seen in 2001. The property is enclosed by semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls.
