Access to the crawl space must be given through apertures no smaller than 18 x 24 inches in the floor or 16 x 24 inches in the crawlspace perimeter walls.
Crawl areas must be accessible according to building codes. All under-floor areas must be accessible. Floor access holes must be at least 18 inches by 24 inches in size (457 mm by 610 mm). Openings through a perimeter wall must be at least 16 inches by 24 inches in size (407 mm by 610 mm).

You have the option of relocating the opening. However, because the current structure of the crawl space ceiling is unclear, as is how it bears on the walls, I recommend that you make the new entrance in a mirror copy of the existing opening.
Crawl space access wells are typically unsightly holes that are viewed as a necessary evil in a property. They are often built of concrete, wood, or even metal. These wells will gradually fill with leaves, plants, and trash.
