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 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 set within a slight recesses in the brickwork, both the arch above and brickwork surrounding the door are painted. 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. A small dormer window is located at the roof level, aligning with the windows on the floors below. There is a parapet with a stone coping is located over the second floor in front of this dormer, the coping has been painted but most of this paintwork has chipped/flaked away. A modern plastic gutter down pipe runs through a gap in the brickwork at the parapet level, down the basement level over the north western party wall. A quantity of wiring is located at various locations across the façade, this is likely associated with an aerial attached to the south eastern stack and lights located near both of the doors. A modern timber fence is located in front of the small garden area, separating it from the street. Overall, despite some untidiness, 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 red with five panels and 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 modern and in timber painted red. The, the basement, ground and first floor windows are possibly original; all are timber framed sashes, the ground and first floors are divided into 12 panes (three wide by four high) by timber glazing bars while the basement is not as tall and divided into nine panes (three wide by three high). The dormer is a casement window and possibly later than the other. All windows have timber frames painted white, this paintwork is in a poor condition in several locations. Overall the windows are in a fair condition with damage some bad damage to the paintwork but all panes are present and intact.

The roof is mansard and in slate with metallic flashing over the angle. There is a single centrally placed dormer (discussed above). There are brick stacks located over both party walls, the southern has a tall aerial. The roof structure appears to be in a good condition with no bowing. (1)
