2 High Street, Markinch

2 High Street in Markinch is a mid-19th century, two-storey end-of-terrace house that was converted into a shop at ground level in the late 19th century. The building features a gable end facing the street and is constructed from squared and snecked dressed sandstone, accented by contrasting droved long and short quoins, as well as base, dividing, and eaves courses. It includes hoodmoulds and stop-chamfered arrises.

The east elevation, which faces High Street, is gabled and has a deeply inset entrance to the shop front, featuring a part-glazed timber door and a plate glass fanlight. Flanking the entrance are display windows set over a painted base course and aprons, with fluted pilasters on either side, a moulded cornice, and a plain frieze. The outer left corner at ground level is chamfered. There are hoodmoulded windows in bays to the right and left of the centre.

The north elevation is largely blank, with two windows located on the ground floor to the left. The south elevation is symmetrical with three bays, featuring a door at the centre and windows in the flanking bays, along with regular windows on the first floor.

The first-floor windows are timber sash and case with a 4-pane glazing pattern, while the ground floor has traditional display windows with fixed plate glass glazing. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a cavetto coped ashlar gablehead stack with polygonal cans.

Inside, the building boasts decorative ceiling plasterwork that includes scallop-edged fans and bellflowers at the centre, which form a border.
