Propped up house
On that part of Leven Road, Windygates, known as Douglas Terrace this house is in danger of collapse and has been supported by props for some time. The house is unoccupied and is for sale but apparently there is a dispute as to who should pay for repairs.

Boundary wall to Durie Vale House, Windygates
The rubblestone wall here is the northern boundary wall to the estate of a late 18th century former farmhouse, the harled & whitewashed gable of which is visible on the right. Much of the land around the house has now been developed for housing, but the boundary wall remains, and forms part of the 1996 Category B listing of the house https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/apex/f?p=1505:300:::::VIEWTYPE,VIEWREF:designation,LB43012 & https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/200389331-house-durie-vale-windygates-markinch

Monrepos & Mariposa
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!)
