Markinch Station

Markinch Station, designed by Thomas Grainger and built between 1846 and 1847, features a single-storey, rectangular-plan Italianate railway station office and an L-plan, piend-roofed station master's house. The building includes two canopied platforms and is constructed from ashlar with stone dressings and harl, showcasing a base and band course, hoodmoulds, chamfered arrises, and stone mullions.

On the west elevation facing Balgonie Road, the station office is located to the left, with an advanced gable off-centre that has a tripartite window, a hoodmould, and a blind hoodmoulded oculus in the gablehead. To the right, there is a two-leaf panelled timber door with a pilaster, and a similar door and pilaster in a recessed bay to the left. An altered bay to the right of centre features a modern window with a lower roofline.

To the right is a two-storey house, which has a blank recessed bay at the outer right and a flat-roofed entrance porch to the left, featuring a two-leaf panelled timber door below a 4-pane fanlight. An advanced bay to the left has a canted window with a blocking course at ground level and a window above.

The north elevation, facing Mitchell Terrace, displays a broad gable with a canted window and blocking course at the centre, along with an adjoining gatepier at the outer left.

The east elevation, raised above platform level, has a timber canopy supported by four cast-iron columns. Behind the canopy are five recessed bays, including a two-leaf panelled timber door with a 4-pane fanlight to the left of centre, an altered door to the right, and a canted window with another two-leaf door at the outer right. There is also a bipartite window to the outer left and a two-leaf door on the return to the left.

The south elevation features the advanced gable of the station master's house, which has two windows at ground level and a window to the left above, along with a blinded window to the right. The building exhibits various glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, including 2-, 4-, 5-, 10-, and 15-pane configurations, while a modern casement window is present at the centre of the west elevation. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are brick stacks on ashlar bases with some cans. The building is adorned with moulded bargeboarding, exposed decorative eaves, and drop-finials.

The gatepiers and boundary walls consist of pyramidal-coped ashlar gatepiers with square-coped ashlar boundary walls, complemented by decorative arrowhead cast-iron railings.
