Description
The Royal Hospital School house, built around 1925 to 1933 by Buckland and Heywood, is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a dark red plain tiled hipped roof. It features external stacks on both the left and right, with the right stack having shaped stone offset brackets above the eaves. The building is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window facade. The central doorway is located beneath a small open pedimented porch supported by timber columns, with pilaster strips at the rear. The door consists of six raised and fielded panels and is topped by a fanlight with intersecting glazing bars. On either side of the doorway, there are small vertically set oval lights. The left and right windows are tripartite horned sashes with glazing bars, while the first-floor horned sashes have the outer windows with four panes by four panes and the central window with three panes by four panes.
