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 (cream) basement level, the render has been scored to give the impression of large block construction and there are some cracks within it beneath the steps. 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 dirt and 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 painted recess in the brickwork and there is decorative and original semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. There is a single window on the basement, 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)and small protruding sills. The sills beneath the ground and second floor level windows have some damage. A rendered and painted string course is located near the base of the first floor level just above the sill of 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. The brickwork across the façade is slightly stained and weathered in places, this is particularly bad at the base of the ground floor level. A low rendered brick wall with possibly original and decorative iron railings above is located between the front garden area and the street level. 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 black with eight panels, the upper two of which are glazed. It is round headed with a highly decorative and original semi-circular window located above the transom over the door. All windows are possible later C19th framed sashes, all apart from the basement window are divided into four large rectangular panes. The basement level window is not as tall as though on the upper floors but is divided into more (six – three wide by two high) smaller panes by timber glazing bars. The timber frames are all painted cream. There seems to be modern plastic frames located on the inner side of all of the windows. 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)
