Royal Buildings Zeebrugge House

Royal Buildings and Zeebrugge House comprise two semi-detached pairs of houses linked at ground floor level. Constructed in 1813 to the designs of architect Edward Hall, they were originally built to accommodate the Governor, Physician, Surgeon, and Agent of the adjoining Royal Naval Hospital, which later became the Royal Marines' School of Music. Later alterations occurred in the mid-19th century and the 20th century. The buildings are of stock brick in Flemish bond, with a mansard slate roof and central stock brick stacks. They are arranged over three storeys and attics, with four windows to each pair. The windows are primarily sash windows with horns, concealed behind outer casements. Features include a moulded modillion cornice and a stringcourse. The ground floor features round-headed windows. Entrances are located on the sides, each with a side porch and a semi-circular fanlight over double doors. Number 1 has a mid-19th century two-storey extension built onto the side, while Number 2 has a full-height, one-bay stuccoed extension added to the side, set back from the porch. Zeebrugge House also has two mid-19th century canted bays to the first floor.
