Listed as a group 301-302 located on the south 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 below by a possibly original iron railing. This building is in an exposed brown brick and forms a symmetrical pair with its north western neighbour with which it shares several architectural features. The door is located on the south eastern side of the façade, abutting the south eastern party wall. It is raised from the pavement level and is accessed via a set six steps. A low brick wall is located on the south eastern side of these steps, separating the front garden area of this property from that of its neighbour. An original iron balustrade is located on the north western side of the steps. The door is round headed with an original and highly decorative traceried semi circular window within the arch above the transom over the door. Decorative columns are located on either side of the door supporting cornice beneath the fanlight. There are two windows on the northern side of the door at the ground floor level. Both are round headed and set within slight recesses within the brickwork. A rendered and painted string course is located near the top of the ground floor, aligning with the base of the arches over both windows and the door, this continues onto the neighbouring building to the north west. There are three windows at the first and second floor levels, all aligning with the openings on the ground floor and have flat gauged brick arches above. An original and highly decorative cast iron balcony with Greek Key design is located in front of all of the first floor windows, this also continues onto the first floor of the north western building. A rendered and painted parapet rises over the second floor, there is a raised area to this parapet located centrally between this building and its northern neighbour with a ‘CHARLTON PLACE’ sign within, integral to the plaster, a small amount of vegetation growth is attached to this. The basement level is rendered and painted cream, it was not clearly seen but two windows were visible, aligning with those on the floors above. A few modern features are attached to the façade, including a security system, light and aerial with their associated wiring crossing the façade at various locations. A low brick wall is located in front of the property at the point where it meets the street level. Overall this is an attractive and well kept building with a number of surviving original features and which appears to be structurally sound and in a good condition.

The ground floor door, which is located on the south eastern side of the façade, is highly decorative and original in a treated timber. There is an original highly decorative traceried semi-circular window located above the transom over the door with a timber frame. The two ground floor windows are round headed, both are possibly original timber framed sashes and are divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. There are six windows across the first and second floors (three per floor) all are original timber frames sashes divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. The first floor windows are taller than the second floor windows, though are the same width on both floors (all are three wide, first floor are five high while second floor are four high). There are two (visible) windows at the basement level, though neither is clearly visible from the road, the southern is narrower than the northern and both are timber framed and divided into multiple panes by glazing bars. Two modern flat roofed dormers are located at the roof level these have modern plastic frames. All windows are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof is mansard and in concrete tiles with metallic flashing over the join between the angle. A tall rendered stack is located over the north western part wall with a tall aerial attached to it. It appears to be in a good condition, though only a small part was visible from the road. (1)
