Listed as a group 281-284 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 recessed from its north western neighbour but flush with its south eastern. The building is in an exposed brown brick with a rendered and painted basement level, there are a few small cracks and some iron staining on this render. 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 set within a slight recesses in the brickwork. 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 and first floor levels, aligning across the floors and located almost centrally within the facade. There is also a single basement level window but this does not align with the windows on the upper floors. All have rendered flat gauged brick arches above (though the render at the basement level obscures that over the basement window) and small protruding sills. There are decorative and possibly original cast iron railings over the sills of all windows. A small dormer window is located at the roof level, aligning with the windows on the floors below. A parapet with a stone coping is located over the second floor. A modern down pipe runs through gaps in the brickwork at the parapet level, down the basement level over the south eastern party wall. A quantity of wiring is located at various locations across the façade, it is unclear as to what this is associated with. A modern metallic railing 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 modern in timber painted yellow with six panels and a semi circular window at its top. 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 white with six panels. The windows (apart from the dormer) are all four pane timber framed sashes, the basement level window is not as tall and has small square upper panes. the dormer is a modern plastic insertion and appears to be fixed. Overall the windows are in a good condition with all panes present and in tact.

The roof is mansard and in slate with metallic flashing over the angle. There is a single centrally placed dormer (discussed above). There is a brick stack located over the south eastern party wall. The roof structure appears to be in a good condition with no bowing or slipped slates. (1)
