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 the north western end of a short terrace of four small cottage style houses. Information from local residents that this building has been empty for some time and has recently had squatters which have caused a fair amount of damage to the interior.

Forms the north western end of a short block of four small cottage style houses 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. These four buildings are recessed from their neighbours on the south eastern side and north western sides. It is in an exposed brown brick with the ground floor slightly raised from the street level and accessed via a set of four steps. The garden area to the front of this building is overgrown and raised from the street level and there is a low brick wall at the point where it meets the street. The door is located on the north western side of the façade immediately abutting the north western party wall. The brickwork surrounding this door is painted white and there is a narrow rectangular window above the transom over the door. There is a single window at the ground floor level, this has a gauged flat brick arch over and a small painted (white) sill. There is a single window at the first floor level also, located on the north western side of the façade and aligning with the ground floor window below. This also has a flat gauged brick arch over. There is a possibly original iron and timber balcony at the first floor level with a metallic roof, stretching across the whole of the first floor level and continuing onto the south eastern neighbours. A modern gutter down pipe is located over the north western party wall with the hopper just beneath the roof of the balcony A rendered parapet is located above the metallic roof of this balcony at the top of the first floor level. The brickwork across the façade is stained and dirty in places but otherwise the building appears to be structurally sound and in a good condition.

The door, which is located on the north western side of the façade, is modern and in timber painted blue. There are six panels and a small semi circular window at its top, one of the lower panels is missing and has been blocked with timber. A narrow rectangular window with a timber frame is located above the transom over this door. The ground floor window is a later insertion and is divided horizontally into two panes; the lower is large and fixed while the upper is very narrow and awning. The first floor window is possibly original and consists of a casement divided into 16 small rectangular panes by timber glazing bars, one of these panes is missing. The frames for all of the windows are timber painted white, some of this paintwork is chipped. Overall the windows and doors are in a fair – poor condition and could do with some improvement.

The roof structure could not be seen from the street level as it is located behind a parapet. There is a brick stack located over the south eastern party wall with an aerial attached. (1)
