Description

Introduction

FARMHOUSE, of the head-neck-body type, named 'Lindenhoeve', standing freely situated on a spacious moated farmyard with mature trees, located on the east side of the Noorddijkerweg, built in the first half of the nineteenth century. In the rear facade between the two barns is a foundation stone bearing the year 1810. The farmhouse forms part of the still partially remaining historical, largely eighteenth-century and nineteenth-century linear settlement of farms along the north-south running route between the former municipality of Noorddijk and the southerly situated places Engelbert and Middelbert.

Description

Well-preserved farmhouse with a front house of one storey under a hipped roof, covered with a glazed Dutch tile. The front house is built on a rectangular ground plan. On the ridge of the hipped roof stand two brick chimneys with carved wooden chimney boards. The facades are finished with a drip moulding with a profiled wooden gutter. The front facade has a symmetrical design and is five bays wide. The side facades are two window bays wide. The facades are built of red brick. The entrance section placed in the middle of the front facade contains a double worked panel door with a fanlight and cast-iron door grilles with a fanlight. The door contains a hard stone step of one tread. The entrance is framed by wooden, fluted pilasters and is topped by a wooden cornice, which is decorated with an oval ornament with foliate scrolls and two consoles. Above this stands the name 'Lindenhoeve' in black lettering. On either side of the entrance are straight-topped, slightly arched windows with fanlights and stretchers. Similar windows are located in the side facades. Below the drip moulding are wrought-iron wall anchors all around. The large barn, which is connected to the front house by means of the partly renewed neck section, has a half-hipped roof thatched with reeds with wooden owl boards. In the gable of this barn are small square windows with broad frames. Around the corner in the north facade is a characteristic double barn door with a broad segmental-arched fanlight with a wooden glazing bars division. The thatched roof follows this curve. North of the large barn stands a smaller barn, also with a half-hipped roof thatched with reeds and wooden owl boards. The wall masonry of the rear facades of both barns is partly renewed and provided with a sintered slag brick. On either side of the double barn doors are small square windows placed with a four-pane glazing bars division. Between both barns is a facade stone bearing the year 1810.

Valuation

FARMHOUSE WITH MOATED FARMYARD AND MATURE TREES, head-neck-body type, built in the first half of the nineteenth century, forming part of a characteristic centuries-old cultural landscape of moated farms on the east side of the city of Groningen, of general importance because of its great cultural-historical, landscape and architectural-historical value as a well-preserved example of the historical linear settlement on the Noorddijkerweg in Groningen.
