Description
Beechcroft is a house located on a village street in Olveston, dating from the early 19th century with later alterations. The building is constructed of rubble and rendered, featuring roofs made of pantiles, plain tiles, and double Roman tiles, with concrete tiles on the rear wing. It has raised coped verges and a gable stack to the north, along with a stack positioned to the right of center. The house is designed in an L-plan and stands two stories tall with five windows, all of which are 16-pane sashes.
On the ground floor, there is a door with a pointed arch to the left, leading to an L-plan porch with a hipped roof. The second bay from the left features a gabled porch with radial glazing bars in the tympanum, a 20th-century door, and radial glazing bars in the fanlight. The second bay from the right has a canted bay with 20th-century windows and a plain tiled roof, with a parapet and coping that steps down to the left. The south elevation includes a sash window at the first floor. The rear of the house has a two-story wing with three windows; the first floor features a two-light casement, a 16-pane sash, and another sash, while the ground floor includes a sash with margin glazing, a 20th-century window, a gabled porch, and a sash.
