Forms the western end of a block of four houses, all are part of a single build, as well as the far western end of Saxon Street. There is a flint and brick wall located between the front garden area and Effingham Street and another to the rear of the property, separating Effingham Street from the back garden. Both appear to be contemporary with the building.

Circa mid C19 forms the western end of a small block of four dwellings (9-12 Saxon Street). The ground floor doorway is located within a 3-storey porch set back from the main façade on the western side, this is accessed via a set of three steps, the lowest of which aligns with the main façade while the upper are immediately below the door. The whole of the ground floor, including the ground floor of the porch, and the basement, is stuccoed and painted cream. There is a deep entablature over the ground floor with four stuccoed pilasters with capitals beneath; one located over the eastern party wall, one on the corner between the main façade and return toward the porch and one on either side of the door. The stucco at the basement level is slightly advanced and flush with the pilasters. There is a single window at the ground floor level, located centrally within the main facade. The upper floors of the main façade are in an exposed stock brick and there are two windows per floor at both the first and second floor levels; one located centrally within the main façade, aligning with the ground floor window and another aligning with the door within the porch. All have small projecting sills and the first-floor windows have flat gauged brick arches above. A final window is located at the basement level, aligning with the ground floor window within the main façade. There is a deep stuccoed band and stucco scrolled brackets located under the overhanging eaves on the main portion of the façade. This band continues onto the three-story porch but the eaves do not overhang here, rather a small parapet rises over the roof level. There is a tall modern aerial attached to this parapet, with the associated wiring crossing the façade. there is also a fair amount of vegetation growth attached to this parapet. The side elevation immediately abuts Effingham Street and is rendered. This render is scored to give the illusion of large block construction and there is a stone plaque attached to the wall commemorating the Belgian workers who came to help re-build Dover after it was bombed during WWII. The rear elevation is in a random flint and brick rubble, with coursed brick dressing. There is a single window per floor and a back door located within a small single storey and rendered extension. The building is in a good condition and structurally sound.

Most of the windows appear to be the original timber framed sashes. The three located on the main façade are all divided into 12-panes by timber glazing bars (three wide by four high). Those located above the door are also timber framed sashes but are slightly narrower being only two panes wide. The door is in painted (black) timber and possibly original. There is a small rectangular window located above the transom over the door, also with a timber frame. The basement window is slightly wider than the other, four panes wide rather than three. All of the window frames are painted white. The windows within the rear elevation are also original sash windows, divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars, though the ground floor one (which was not clearly seen) appears to be casement. All the windows are in a good condition.

The roof is hipped and in welsh slate with deeply overhanging eaves on stuccoed scrolled brackets. There is a slight parapet at the roof level over the porch area on the eastern side of the building.. There is a tall rendered axial stack over ridge on the eastern side of the building, some of the render on this has fallen away exposing the brickwork beneath. Both the roof structure and the stack appear to be in a good condition. (1)
