Description

Description

Old and well-preserved FARMHOUSE consisting of head (front house), neck (scullery) and body (section, cattle shed, outbuilding) and a bakehouse or heating hut. The front house is covered with a gabled roof with a projection on the north side, is partly cellared and has very low, recumbent windows with lattice work on the front and side gables. In the front gable (=west) are two straight-topped windows with fanlights and rolling shutters and above these wrought-iron ornamental wall anchors, the top gable has two small square windows. The south gable of the front house is four bays wide. The rightmost bay contains a double, worked panel door with fanlight from the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The glazed central panels are protected with iron decorative grilles. The front house forms the oldest part of the farmhouse. The front house is covered with black glazed Old Dutch roof tile.

Behind the front house is the adjoining neck section of one storey under a gabled roof covered with black glazed Old Dutch roof tile; the neck contains the scullery or churn room.

The projection or the transverse wing on the north side is executed with (originally) two by six-pane sash windows on the ground floor (west and north gable) and two square windows on the upper floor (north gable); the roof covered with black glazed Old Dutch tiles is half-hipped.

The front gable is two window bays wide. The gable is finished with a wooden drip moulding. The two windows in the south gable with fanlights are straight-topped. Originally behind this was the summer kitchen. Two glazed corridor doors with glazing bars and coloured glass lead to this room. On the north side, adjoining the long cellar of the front house and a corridor in the business premises, a large living kitchen is built out in an L-shape with a cabinet wall against the east gable. This section comprises a ground floor and a loft storey under a gabled roof, covered with old hollow tile, which intersects the roof slope of the neck and ends at the north gable in a half-hipped roof above a profiled drip moulding. The ground floor contains straight-topped windows with a six-pane glazing bar division. The top gable has two recumbent windows.

The large three-aisle barn under a half-hipped roof with wooden owl boards has double wooden barn doors at the front and a wooden front door with fanlight, internally seven roof truss structures placed one behind another. The large barn houses among other things the threshing floor and the cattle shed (side aisles) and six hay racks (central aisle) and the hayloft. Traces of, presumably, a churn mill, in the semicircular notch in one of the loft beams. The large barn has an earthen floor with two stones in it (at the location of the former threshing mill?) and a thatched roof with a base of tiles.

Next to the large barn and connected with it stands a small barn also with a half-hipped roof with wooden owl boards and thatched covering with base of tiles. The rear gables lying in the same plane contain high double wooden passages for hay storage and lower ones with fanlights at the stalls. Between these are windows with a four-pane glazing bar division. The barns have wooden roof truss structures.

The interior of the farmhouse contains various old elements and components including red sandstone tiles in the barn corridor, a maid's room, servant's built-in bed, horse stable for five horses with feeding corridor, a threshing floor with earthen floor, a boarded-off space (presumably for a carriage), cattle shed with manger, intermediate partitions and arched sections between the posts, a Bruynzeel kitchen in the former churn house (also scullery) and a millstone in the floor, a corridor to/from the cellar with a tiled floor from the beginning of the twentieth century, summer room with fireplace, interior shutters, beam ceiling, in the corridor opposite a built-in bed with cupboard, wooden fireplace with red-black painted tortoiseshell motif and various interesting construction traces (including a current layer in the partition wall between cellar and front house/neck; in the spandrels of the front door is the date 1756 chiselled; the anchors in the top gable indicate the year 1798; inscription JM 1929 and the date 1861 in a wooden partition in the horse stable; cast-iron gutter on the west side of the large barn, likewise on the west side of the outbuilding; initials HIB in the rear gable, left of the cattle shed doors).
