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.

Local climate

Royal Hospital School sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 66% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 7 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
