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 the south eastern end of a terrace of early C19th buildings located on the south western side of London Road/Erith Place, at the junction between Erith Place and Shooters Hill. 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 (yellow) 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 recess 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 painted 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 and an aerial is attached to this coping on the north western side of the dormer. 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, there is a fair amount of staining to the brickwork surrounding this down pipe suggesting that it leaks or has leaked in the past. A modern concrete block wall is located between the front garden area and the street level. The southern (side) elevation of this building was visible from Shooters Hill. The upper and western side of this elevation is rendered while the lower is in an exposed brick, suggesting that this building may have originally been adjoined on its south eastern side by a smaller building before Shooters Hill was widened. 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 and in timber painted black with five panels. It is round headed with a semi circular window located above the transom over the door; this window is likely later and consists a fixed pane. The basement level door is likely modern and in timber painted yellow with four rectangular panels, the upper two of which are glazed. All of the windows are timber framed sashes, the ground and first floor windows are divided into four large panes by timber glazing bars while the basement level is divided in half horizontally. The dormer window was not clearly seen but appears to be casement. All of the timber frames are painted yellow and 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 are brick stacks located over both party walls, the north western has a tall aerial. The roof structure appears to be in a good condition with no bowing or slipped slates. (1)
