Listed as a group 288-293 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 of 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 at a slightly lower level than its north western neighbour and is in an exposed brown brick with a rendered and painted (white) basement level the paintwork over this basement level is slightly stained. 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. These steps are untidy with a fair amount of vegetation growth attached to them. There are possibly original iron railings on both sides of these steps, those on the north western side continue over a low brick wall to the front of the small garden area. The door is round headed, set within a slight recess in the brickwork and there is decorative and original 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, 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 flat gauged brick arches above (though the render at the basement level obscures that over the basement window). A rendered and painted string course is located at the base of the first floor level and forms a sill to the first floor window. There is a parapet with a stone coping is located over the second floor. A modern plastic waste water down pipe runs through a gap in the brickwork at the base of the second floor level, down the basement level over the south eastern party wall. Some untidy wiring is located in several places across the façade associated with a aerial attached to the brickwork at the top of the first floor. A low modern brick wall is located between the front garden area and the street level, with tall brick gate piers at its north western end. 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 and in timber painted white with six panels and a semi circular window at its top. It is round headed with a highly decorative and original semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. The basement level door was not clearly seen. The ground, first and second floor level windows are all original timber framed sashes all divided into 16 small rectangular panes (four wide by four high) by timber glazing bars. The basement level window is also an original sash but is not as tall and divided into 12 panes (four wide by three high) The timber frames are all painted cream and there are some chips to the paintwork. The basement level window is a later plastic insertion. Overall the windows are in a good condition with all panes present and in tact.

The roof level was not clearly seen as it is located behind a parapet though brick stacks were visible over both party walls. (1)
