Description

The Music Room, located 90 metres northwest of Pen Pits, is a music room built in 1935 by P J B Harland for Sir Arthur Bliss. It features a wood frame with painted weatherboard cladding, set on a brick base and piers, and has an asphalt flat roof with a colourwashed brick chimney stack. The building is situated on sloping ground, with a solid base on the southwest side and two piers on the northeast. The entrance door is on the southeast, and there are timber casements in the opposite corner, along with a casement window that spans the entire northeast elevation.

Inside, the room is lined with plywood and includes a small brick fireplace. There are bookcases and music score shelves, as well as a fitted desk under the window, with a gap for a piano heater. The Music Room was designed as an isolated retreat for Sir Arthur Bliss to compose music. It is constructed within the Pen Pits Quern Quarries, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (Somerset County No 470).
