Description

Introduction FARMHOUSE, of the head-neck-body type, detached and situated on a partially moated farmyard with old trees, in a polder north of the city of Groningen, built in 1849 on commission of G.T. Tiessen and E.D. Omta to replace an older farmhouse in a traditional-artisanal building manner. The interior has been largely preserved in its original state. The north-western room in the front house has a lowered ceiling. In the rear gable of the barn there is a foundation stone: 'This place purchased in 1845 Rebuilt in 1849 G.T. Tiessen E.D. Omta'. The recently built, detached outbuilding on the site of an old barn falls outside the protection. The building no longer has an agricultural purpose and is currently in use as a dwelling. Description The building consists of a front house with attached neck section and large barn. The front house is of the transverse-house type and is erected on a rectangular plan. The building is cellared and comprises one storey under a hipped roof, covered with renewed red corrugated tile. The rear roof plane still has the original glazed flat Frisian tiles. On the ridges stand two rendered chimneys with caps. The front gable is five bays wide and symmetrical in layout. The side gables are two window bays wide. The gables are built of reddish-brown brick and are finished with a rendered drip moulding with a moulded cast-iron gutter. The entrance is placed in the centre and consists of a double panelled door with fanlight. The glass windows are protected with cast-iron door grilles. The door has a hard stone threshold and was originally provided with a high front step. The door and window openings are segmental-arched, as are the horizontal cellar windows. The windows have a six-pane glazing bars arrangement and are closed with straps. The attached neck section comprises one storey under a gabled roof, covered with black glazed old hollow tiles. The south-facing front gable is three bays wide. In the east bay is a panelled door placed with a cast-iron door grille and a horizontal two-part fanlight. On the left hand side are two windows with fanlight. Both the door and windows are slightly arched and closed with straps. The north gable of the neck section contains two straight-headed windows with arch lintels and a six-pane glazing bars arrangement. On the north side the neck section is extended with a rectangular building section placed at right angles to the neck, comprising one storey, thereby creating a courtyard. This building section contains the kitchen in which there is still an old tiled pump. Straight-headed windows have also been installed here. The adjoining large barn is partly covered with corrugated sheeting and thatching. The rear roof plane is covered with thatch and fitted with a wooden drip board (also on the front). The arrangement of the rear gable is largely original and contains on the north side high double light-arched barn doors with a strap. On the south side of the rear gable a lower double working door with fanlight and side lights with horizontal glazing bars has been installed. Between the two doors are on the ground floor three light-arched four-pane windows, one of which has been changed into a door. The stepped gable which is fitted with bracing contains two horizontal windows. In the gable surface between them is a building stone placed with the year of construction and the names of the founders. The masonry of the south gable of the barn was renewed in the nineteen-twenties/thirties. The barn contains wooden roof trusses. Internally the original structure, layout and fittings have been largely preserved. Of note among other things are the corridor in the neck section with floor of red tiles and broad wooden panelled doors, the south-western room in the front house with beam ceiling, wooden cupboard wall and semi-circular built-in cupboard, wooden chimney breast and wooden shutters; the carved wooden window sills in the north-western front room, the hall in the front house with wooden panelled doors, an ornamental stucco ceiling and a decorated glazed draught door with a rose-like shape with green, red, blue and yellow coloured glass with richly decorated cast-iron hood (originating from the entrance section), and the tiled pump in the kitchen. Assessment FARMHOUSE, of the head-neck-body type, of which the front house is of the transverse-house type and situated on a partially moated farmyard, dating from the mid-nineteenth century and built in a traditional-artisanal building manner, of general importance because of its cultural-historical, landscape and architectural-historical value as a well-preserved example of moated farmsteads on the north-west and north-east sides of the city of Groningen. Furthermore, the building is of importance because of the particular coherence between exterior and interior (components).
