Haslar Terrace, Royal Naval Hospital, Haslar

Haslar Terrace comprises a row of nine houses built as part of the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar between 1796 and 1798. Designed by Samuel Bunce, the Navy Board's architect, the terrace is constructed of red brick with blue brick headers, rubbed brick detailing, and stone dressings. The central section is stuccoed, and the roof is covered with slate.

The terrace is in a mid-Georgian style, with a double-depth plan arranging the houses in pairs, plus a taller central house, linked by screen walls. The exterior is three storeys high, plus a basement, with 12-window ranges on the outer sections and a three-window range in the centre. The taller, stuccoed central house features a plinth, stone bands marking the storeys, a cornice, a coped parapet, recessed sash windows on the first floor (with 6/6-pane glazing), smaller windows on the upper floor, and a projecting porch on the left-hand side.

The screen walls connect the terraces, incorporating gateways and piers. The houses have 6/6-pane sash windows. The right-hand section has paired timber porches with arched entrances within panelled frames, and the left-hand section features arched doorways. The interior remains uninspected.

The terrace was designed on the main axis of the hospital and housed the senior medical officers. Haslar was the first large hospital built by the Navy, primarily for convalescent seamen. The officers’ accommodation is a particularly significant feature within this remarkably complete and outstanding hospital complex.
