Description

Olands is a house built in the early 19th century, with alterations made in the late 19th century. It features rendered Ham stone dressings and a hipped roof covered in bitumen and slate. The building has two storeys and five bays, with 12-pane sash windows on the first floor and 20th-century sash windows without glazing bars on the ground floor. These ground floor windows flank a central Ham stone Tuscan porch, which has paired columns and a frieze decorated with triglyphs and rosettes, along with a pilaster doorcase and double doors that are partially glazed with panelled reveals. The left side of the building has a four-bay elevation that includes two full-height late 19th-century ashlar square bay windows in the outer bays. Inside, the ground floor features early 19th-century doorcases with panelled reveals and fluted surrounds, as well as plaster friezes in the reception rooms dating from the 1840s.
