These cottages are described in their collective 1996 Category C listing https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/apex/f?p=1505:300:::::VIEWTYPE,VIEWREF:designation,LB43017 & https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/200389338-monrepos-8-station-road-windygates-markinch as "semi detached pair of single storey with attic, 2 bay cottages with dormer windows. Red brick with contrasting rusticated ashlar quoins" but later noted that they would be much improved by reinstatement of appropriate windows & doors. At the time of the photo, that comment could probably be extended to say that the nearer one would benefit from a lick of paint on the bargeboards and around the dormer windows. The listing includes the boundary walls, gates and railings etc (but not my bike!)
