Description
Nos 51 and 52 of the Royal Hospital School are a pair of houses built around 1925 to 1933 by Buckland and Heywood. They are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring hanging tiles on the first floor central band. The houses have a hipped dark red plain tiled roof with central and external chimneystacks on both the right and left sides. The buildings are two storeys high and have a six-window range, with small paned vertically sliding sashes on the first floor. The ground floor features angled bays on the right and left, and two central tripartite small paned vertically sliding sashes with moulded surrounds. There are two raised and fielded five-panelled doors with moulded surrounds, and flat canopies supported by moulded and fluted brackets beneath the second and fifth windows. Red brick walls attached to the front angles extend through the staff accommodation houses of the school, and there are round-headed panelled gates leading to the rear gardens.
