Description

Nos 26 and 27 at 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's central band, and have a hipped dark red plain tiled roof. The houses have central and external chimneystacks on both the left and right sides. They are two storeys tall with a six-window range; the first-floor windows are small paned vertically sliding sashes, while the ground floor has 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 six-panelled doors with moulded surrounds and flat canopies supported by moulded and fluted brackets located below the second and fifth windows. The red brick walls at the front angles extend through the staff accommodation houses of the school, and there are round-headed panelled gates leading to the rear gardens.

It experiences an average of 17 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 84% of listed buildings. Of these, 9 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.
