Full Description
Listed as a group 265-268 which are the same build and share a number of architectural features. It is located on a quiet street (Erith Place) that runs parallel to and is at a higher level than the busy London Road. There is a possibly original iron railing separating this raised street from London Road below.
Forms part a terrace of early C19th brown brick buildings located on the south western side of London Road/Erith Place. Erith Place is a quiet road which runs parallel and is raised from London Road on its south western side. The brickwork of this building is not continuous with either of its neighbours suggesting that they are not of the same build. The door is located on the north western side of the façade, immediately abutting the north western party wall; it is slightly raised from the street level and accessed via a set of four steps with a low brick wall and iron railings over located on either side. The door is round headed and there is a semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. There is a single window on the ground, first and second floor levels, all aligning across the floors and located centrally within the façade. All have rendered flat gauged brick arches above and small protruding sills. A small square window is visible at the pavement level on the south eastern side of the façade, indicating the presence of a basement below this building. A brick parapet is located over the second floor with stone coping. A modern gutter down pipe runs through a gap in the brickwork at this parapet level, down to the pavement over the north western party wall. A number of modern features are attached to the façade at various locations including several modern metallic brackets and aerials. Overall the building appears to be structurally sound and is in a good condition.
The ground floor door, which is located on the north western side of the façade, is modern and timber painted black with six small rectangular glazed panels. It is round headed with a semi circular window located above the transom over the door. This window is likely a later insertion and consists of a single pane. The ground, first and second floor level windows are all later plastic insertions. The small square window at the basement level has a timber frame painted white but is also likely a later insertion. All windows and the door are in a good condition with all panes present and in tact.
The roof level was not seen from the street as it is located behind a parapet. There is a brick stack located over the south eastern party wall with an aerial attached. (1)
