Description

Introduction

Country gentleman's farm built in 1901 to a design by H. Witzand (Meppel). The representative residential house is built in an eclectic style while the barn is built in a more craft-traditional style. In the portal stands a facade stone: The foundation stone laid by Jan Pouwels Brouwer and Annigje Pol L.d. on 27 March 1901. The front facade also contains date stones with ANNO 1901. Particularly remarkable is the barrel vault in the barn.

Description

Farm consisting of a transversely placed front residential house and a barn situated behind it. The residential house is built on a rectangular ground plan in brick and is covered by a hipped roof with glazed Tuile du Nord (dark). Two corner chimneys with flat caps. Two zinc roof lights with inturning helm and ornamental pirons. Built-up roof gable in the centre covered with a zinc gabled roof. Broad profiled cornice. Facade construction with sandstone plinth, brick construction with string courses, brick nogging above windows. Projecting front facade with corner pilasters (casement and ornamental pieces) and pilasters on either side of the recessed portal. Portal with sandstone step, jambs with glazed ornamental tiles and foundation stone (text above) signed with Ant. N. Bouvy Amsterdam Ft.; broad panel door with ornamental grilles and carving, alternating lintel with carving; fanlight. At the front the portal is preceded by a lintel between the pilasters with a small dividing column. On either side of the portal a broad three-part window with two mullions decorated with carving, undersill and casement of sandstone, top with projecting lintel on corbels and above it a brick nogging with setting and closing stones while in the arch field brick mosaic is incorporated. The windows are provided with roller shutters. Above the entrance a balcony placed on heavy consoles with wood carving; wooden railings with balusters between columns. Roof gable built with string courses, date stones and round-arch shaped niches with brick mosaic on either side of straight-topped window (opening balcony doors with fanlight). At top of the window brick mosaic under round arch; elegantly worked wooden corbels carry the inturning eave line with brickwork. The side facades with a small projection are slightly more soberly designed with straight-topped windows under brick nogging. The eastern side facade has two cellar windows with security bars. The intermediate section towards the barn contains straight-topped windows with brick nogging. On the east side this facade plane transitions into an entrance door and an adjoining barn door (two large clamped panel doors with four panes placed side by side at the top). The intermediate section forms part of the barn roof truss structure but is covered with tiles; corner chimney. The barn, vaulted at the rear, has a construction of four large collar-tie trusses and is covered by a thatched roof and has an owl board at the rear. Side facade on the west side with arched cast-iron stable windows with brick nogging, dung doors and wagon door. Rear facade with brick bond pattern, broad barn door, several arched cast-iron windows and round windows (loft), walk door with round-arch fanlight. The eastern side facade has arched cast-iron stable windows and a door. In the projection towards the barn annex are two cast-iron round-arch windows.

INTERIOR. Residential section with central corridor consisting of a front portal with glazed tile wainscoting, the walls are provided with stucco moulding work and have oval high reliefs depicting hunting scenes. The draught portal has side and top lights with coloured leaded glass, the door has a radiating window with Art Nouveau pattern. White marble floor, thresholds and slabs. The broad section of the corridor has comparable wainscoting and floor. The front room doors have a rich moulding in Renaissance style. The narrowed corridor is preceded by decorated pilasters that carry a relieving arch. The rear corridor has glazed tiles on the ground and the doors are provided with simpler moulding. The front room is arranged in an old red, beige-brown, gold, moss green and dark green colour scheme. Ceiling of stretched linen enriched with pressed cardboard ornaments and decorative mouldings. Fireplace with black marble surround and mantel (decorated in a manner comparable to the ceiling). The sitting room (now study) is arranged in a light-pink, light and darker blue-green colour scheme.

Back room (now kitchen) with surround resting on wooden pilasters and viewing window to the barn. Cellar with vaulted stairs and tiles on the floor.

INTERIOR. Blue painted wooden boarding of the barn with among other things a cabinet wall, horse stall with manger and storage bins and a partly modified coach house. Particularly striking is the barrel vault of the cow passage. It is executed in American pine and on the eastern side it transitions into boarding in which hatches to the hay loft are incorporated.
