Listed as a group 279-280 which 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 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 whole is slightly advanced from its south eastern neighbour but flush with its north western. The building is in an exposed brown brick with a rendered and painted basement level. The door is located on the north western side of the façade, immediately abutting the north western party wall; it is raised from the street level and accessed via a set of six steps. Possibly original iron railings are located on either side of the steps. The door is round headed and there is a semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. A further door is located beneath the steps up to the ground floor level, providing separate access to the basement level. There is a single window on the ground, first and second floor levels, all aligning across the floors and located almost centrally within the facade. The ground floor window is a large three light canted oriel bay window while all others are flat. All apart from the bay have rendered flat gauged brick arches above (though the render at the basement level obscures that over the basement window) and small protruding sills. A parapet with a moulded rendered cornice is located over the second floor. A possibly original gutter down pipe runs through gaps in the brickwork at the parapet level, down the basement level over the north western party wall with a decorative metallic hopper at the top. Some wiring runs from above the parapet level down to the basement level over the south eastern party wall. A low brick wall with possibly original iron railing over is located in front of the small garden area, separating it from the street. 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 possibly original and in timber painted yellow with four rectangular panels and a decorative knocker. It is round headed with a semi circular window located above the transom over the door; this window is likely later and consists of a single fixed pane. The basement level door is in timber painted grey with two rectangular panels in its lower half and a glazed upper half divided into four panes. The top of the door is rounded. The first and second floor level windows are possibly original (if not original then they are very in-keeping) timber framed sashes divided into 12 panes (three wide by four high). The central portion of the bay window is also a sash divided into 12 panes while the outer portions of it are much narrower (only a single pane wide). The glazing within the basement window divided into 9 (three wide by three high) large square panes. The frames of these windows are timber painted grey. Overall the windows 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. It is gabled with the gable ends over the north western and south eastern party walls. There is a brick stack located over the south eastern party wall. (1)
