Description

Introduction

Large FARMHOUSE (1875) of the Oldambtster type with main barn, two transversely adjoining side barns (XIXd and c. 1893) and wrought-iron FENCE for the drive to the land. The farmhouse is constructed in artisanal-traditional style with eclectic elements, on the location of a smaller predecessor. Beautifully situated in the ribbon development of Wildervank on a well-preserved plot with linden trees, garden with garden house, water reservoirs under the former bleach area and by the kitchen, drive to the rear plot, on the south side a remnant of a cross-canal from the reclamation period (wijk). The farmhouse is the last well-preserved representative of the type on the Oosterdiep.

The layout of the main barn was modified in 2009 for a partial residential function; the rear facade was renewed with a reconstruction of the access to the horse stable/small livestock stable with fanlight in the middle. The brickwork of the front facade of the second side barn was renewed; the interior partially removed. Against the rear facade of the barn a low foal barn was built in 1918, connected to the brickwork of the side facade with a toothed bond. This represents no monumental values. The windvanes in plume of smoke form have disappeared. The plot and garden arrangement does not fall under protection.
