The Belvedere Including Boundary Walls

The Belvedere is a tower dating to approximately 1840, believed to have been built by Louisa Lady Rolle as a birthday gift for her husband. It is constructed of stucco over stone rubble and brick, with Beerstone detailing.

The tower is tall and octagonal, rising three storeys, and includes a square stair turret projecting from its north-western side. An entrance is situated on the north-eastern side. The architectural style is Tudor Gothic. A large battered plinth runs around the tower, extending to the porch and stair turret. The top of the tower features a moulded eaves cornice with an embattled parapet, while the stair turret rises slightly higher with its own cornice and embattled parapet. The windows are rectangular, with deep external splays. There are few ground floor windows; more are present on the first floor, and the second floor has windows on all sides. The larger windows are mullion-and-transom, with glazing bars, while smaller windows have transoms only. Second-floor windows have hoodmoulds with carved labels; the only exception is one first-floor window located on the south-eastern side. The porch is characterised by a moulded eaves cornice and embattled parapet, with a flat Tudor arch leading to a flight of steps, although the doorway is currently boarded up. A service extension, closely resembling the porch, is located on the opposite (south-western) side. An external doorway on the north-eastern side features a Beerstone medallion containing the Rolle arms set above a Tudor arch. The interior has not been inspected.

The tower sits on a small octagonal terrace enclosed by low walls with an embattled parapet, built of local conglomerate stone rubble with weathered coping. Granite steps lead to the north-eastern entrance. According to W.G. Hoskins, the tower was originally known as the China Tower, as it housed a significant collection of china from around the world. It is situated within a game wood and functions as both a scenic watch tower and a landscape feature visible from Bicton House.
