Description
Nos 49 and 50 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 central band and a hipped dark red plain tiled roof. The houses have central and external chimneystacks on both sides.
The buildings are two storeys high and have a six-window range. The first-floor windows are small paned vertically sliding sashes, while the ground floor features angled bays on the right and left, with two central tripartite small paned vertically sliding sashes that have moulded surrounds. There are two raised and fielded panelled doors with moulded surrounds, each topped with 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.
