Forms part 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 painted (cream) brick with the ground floor slightly raised from the street level and accessed via a set of five steps. A low rendered wall is located on the north western side of these steps and stretches the length of the front garden area. The garden area to the front of this building is 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. 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 neighbours on both sides. A modern gutter down pipe is located over the south eastern party wall with the hopper just beneath the roof of the balcony, a fair amount of vegetation is attached to the down pipe near its base. A rendered parapet is located above the metallic roof of this balcony at the top of the first floor level. Overall the building is well kept, 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 two large panels, the upper of which is glazed in an opaque glass. 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 frame of this window is in timber painted white. The second floor window is a modern plastic insertion. 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 both the south eastern and north western party walls with tall aerials attached to each. (1)
