Description

The Royal Hospital School is a house built between 1925 and 1933 by architects Buckland and Heywood. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a hipped dark red plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and a symmetrical facade with five windows. The central entrance is highlighted by a pedimented doorcase, flanked by pilasters with fluted capitals and moulded bases, topped with a plain entablature. The door itself has six sunk moulded panels. On either side of the door are circular pivoting lights with glazing bars set in moulded frames. At the far left and right are horned sash windows with glazing bars, each containing two sets of four panes, and there is a brick band at the cill level of these sashes. The first floor features five similar windows, with flat-headed arches and flush surrounds in darker brick, which create a vertical feature between the outer windows of each storey, resembling an apron for the upper floor windows. There is an attached garage on the right side of the building.
