Royal Hospital School And Walls Attached To Right And Left

The Royal Hospital School consists of a block of four houses built around 1925 to 1933 by Buckland and Heywood. The structure is made of red brick with hanging tiles on the first floor and features a central band. It has a dark red plain tiled roof with forward hipped gables on both the right and left sides, and three chimneystacks along the central ridge. The building is two storeys high and has a window arrangement of 1:6:1, featuring small paned vertically sliding sashes with moulded surrounds and gauged brick arches on the ground floor. There are two-storey angled bays at the right and left gables. Each gable has a pair of central six-panel doors with moulded surrounds and flat canopies supported by brackets, located to the right and left of the gables, respectively. The central pedestrian entrance has a square head. Attached to the right and left are brick walls that continue through the staff accommodation houses of the school, featuring panelled gates in round-headed arches that lead into the rear gardens. The wall on the west side incorporates a bus stop shelter.
