Raleigh House

Raleigh House is a boys' hostel built between 1925 and 1933 by Buckland and Heywood. It is constructed of red brick with stone and darker brick dressings, featuring a hipped plain tile roof behind a brick parapet. The building has an H-plan layout with identical east and west fronts, standing two storeys tall and comprising nine bays. It has rusticated brick quoins and a flush brick plinth outlined in darker brick. The parapet is topped with stone coping and rectangular brick panels, also outlined in darker brick, along with a stone cornice band.

The central bay projects at the first floor level and features a parapet. On either side, there are four horned sash windows with three panes by four panes on the ground floor, and similar upper hung casements on the first floor. The central stone doorcase has a moulded stone surround with angle pilasters that have stylized capitals and moulded bases, topped with stone finials on the cornice. The entablature bears the house name, and there is a pair of doors with three raised and fielded panels each, beneath an overlight with glazing bars arranged in a diamond pattern.

Above the doors, the first-floor window has a moulded stone surround and consists of three panes by four panes. Darker brickwork is used in the flat arches of the windows and their surrounds, extending above and below to create apron-like panels beneath the first-floor windows and a shallower feature of three courses below the ground-floor windows. The south face features a central pedimented bay with a first-floor window in a stone surround. A single-storey housemaster's accommodation has been added to the front of the facade. The northern arcaded service court at the top of the H-plan has an arch made of various sized brickwork detailing the capitals. Raleigh House is one of ten identical houses for pupils.
