Description
Pen Selwood Village Hall is a former school and school house, dated 1847, now serving as a village hall. It is constructed from local greensand stone with ashlar dressings and features ornamented fish-scale clay tile roofs with plain gables. A brick chimney stack is present, along with a wooden bell turret topped with a lead cupola roof and weathervane on the north gable. The building is one and two storeys high, with a five-bay roadside elevation where bays two and five project. The windows are chamfered, mullioned, and transomed, mostly featuring two lights with flat heads and labels. Bay two has smaller plain windows flanking it, while there is a door in the return of bay two. To the right of bay four, there is a projecting porch with a blocked four-centre arched doorway and a datestone above. Bay five is two-storey and part of the school house, with plain two-light chamfered windows repeated on the south side. There is also a projecting single-storey wing from the south return. The interior has not been seen.
