Description

Brunton Court, located on High Street in Markinch, is a Gothic hall church built by Robert Hutchison between 1843 and 1844, which was converted into flats in 1994. The building features a gabled front with a corbelled and pinnacled ashlar birdcage bellcote. It has pinnacled battered buttresses and a two-bay nave with a church hall adjoining on the southwest. The exterior is made of dressed ashlar with squared and snecked rubble on the sides and rear, along with droved quoins and a base course. The pointed-arch openings are adorned with hoodmoulds and chamfered reveals.

The east elevation is symmetrical, showcasing a modern timber door with a two-pane fanlight set in a four-centre arched doorway, which has a square hoodmould. This is located below the battered cill of a tall modern traceried window with a hoodmould in the gablehead. Above this, a corbel leads to the open bellcote, flanked by crenellation. There are buttresses on either side of the center, with tall windows featuring modern tracery.

On the west elevation, there is a tall window to the left of center, with new windows at the ground and first floors to the left and another new window on the right at the first floor. A blind roundel is present in the gablehead, along with a truncated stack above. The converted hall is located at the outer right.

The north elevation has two tall windows with a new window between them on both floors, and a door to the right, with an additional new window at the outer right on the first floor. The eaves are interrupted by two modern dormer windows.

The south elevation mirrors the north, featuring two tall windows with a new window between them on both floors, and the eaves are also broken by two modern dormer windows. The hall is attached at the outer left.

Modern traceried windows are present on the east side, while pivot-opening plate glass glazing is used elsewhere, all set in timber frames. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the building has ashlar coped skews.

The boundary walls consist of semicircular-coped rubble.
