Description
The Royal Hospital School consists of a pair of houses built around 1925 to 1933 by architects Buckland and Heywood. They are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with hanging tiles on the first floor and a central band. The roof is hipped and covered with dark red plain tiles, featuring central and external stacks, with the external stack having small stone offsets.
The buildings are two storeys high and have a six-window range. The first-floor windows are small paned vertically sliding horned sashes, with the outer windows of each house consisting of 4 x 4 panes and the central window having 3 x 4 panes. The ground floor features angled bays on the left and right, which also have horned sashes with glazing bars. There are two central tripartite sashes with glazing bars and moulded surrounds.
Each house has a central door located in the 2nd and 5th bays, consisting of six raised and fielded panels with moulded surrounds and flat canopies supported by fluted brackets. Attached walls on the left and right connect the houses to adjoining staff accommodation, with the left wall terminating in a garage.
