Listed as a group 295-300 located on the north western side of London Road on a raised pavement level.

Forms part of a terrace of C19th buildings located on the south western side of London Road on a raised pavement which is separated from the busy London Road by a possibly original iron railing. The building slightly recessed from its south eastern neighbour but advanced from its north western. It is large and symmetrical in an exposed brown brick with a rendered and painted (grey) basement level. The door is located centrally and it is raised from the street level and accessed via a set modern metallic steps which are located in front of the building on its south eastern side. These steps lead to a metal balcony at the ground floor level which runs across the entire length of the property and the properties to the north west of it, both the stairs and the balcony are fairly badly rusted. The door is within a slight recess within the brickwork and has semi-circular arch above with a small semi-circular window within this arch above the transom over the door. A further door is located beneath the steps up to the ground floor balcony, abutting the south eastern party wall and providing separate access to the basement level. There are two windows at the ground floor level, one on either side of the door and three windows per floor at the basement level, first and second floors, aligning across all floors and creating a symmetrical appearance to the façade. The central window at the basement level is much smaller than all of the others. All have flat gauged brick arches above (though the render at the basement level obscures that over the basement windows) and small protruding painted sills. A rendered and painted string course is located at the base of the first floor level and provides a continuous sill to the first floor windows, this is slightly damaged with the paintwork chipped and flaking away in places and a small amount of moss growth above it. A moulded cornice is located above the second floor with a large triangular pediment with moulded plaster surround above it and large ‘BUCKLAND PLACE’ sign within it. This plaster is slightly stained and weathered. A quantity or wiring crosses the façade at various locations associated with a large aerial attached to the brickwork at the top of the first floor. The building is set back slightly from the pavement level and a temporary harris fence separates a small, overgrown and untidy front garden area 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 centrally within façade, is possibly original and in timber painted black with six moulded panels and a decorative knocker. It is round headed and a semi-circular window with a timber frame is located above the transom over the door. This is likely a later insertion and consists of a single opaque pane. The basement level door was not clearly seen. There are two windows at the ground floor level, one on either side of the door and three at both the first and second floor levels, all aligning with the ground floor openings. All of these windows are original timber framed sashes divided into 12 rectangular panes (three wide by four high) by timber glazing bars. All of the windows at the basement level are also timber framed sashes though appear to be later insertions. The timber frames of all the windows are painted white, there are some chips to this paintwork. Overall all windows and doors are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof level was not clearly visible as it is located behind a tall triangular pediment thou a brick stack was visible over the north western party wall. (1)
