South Church Hall, West Street, Penicuik

South Church Hall, located on West Street in Penicuik, is a mid-19th century gothic church hall with later additions. It is a single-storey building featuring a flat roof and an original five-bay layout. The exterior is constructed from tooled, squared, and snecked sandstone rubble, accented with droved ashlar dressings. The principal elevation showcases pointed-arch openings with hoodmoulds and chamfered reveals. Strip quoins are present on the outer left and right sides of the principal elevation, which steps up at the center and is coped.

On the north (principal) elevation, there is a central four-light window with intersecting tracery, flanked by a pair of five-panel, two-leaf timber doors that display gothic decoration. Tall five-pane lancet windows with blind upper panes are located on the outer left and right.

The east elevation features a centrally located window at ground level, with a four-bay flat-roofed addition to the left. This addition includes a two-leaf vertically-boarded timber door in the penultimate bay from the right, with windows in the remaining bays.

The south (rear) elevation has a two-bay angled section to the left, with infilled windows in each bay that have relieving arches. A lower modern five-bay flat-roofed addition obscures the elevation to the right.

The west elevation is blank. The principal elevation windows have replacement glazing, while the remaining windows are plate glass timber sash and case and casement windows. The roof is covered with grey slate, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1999.
