Description

Farmhouse (dwelling with cowshed)

Introduction

A farmhouse of older construction, but as regards its present appearance mainly late 19th-century (dwelling with 7-bay cowshed), inhabited by successive generations of the Van der Scheer family. Although the farmhouse underwent various changes over the decades, it remains particularly well-preserved in parts. The timber frames and the cowshed section are the oldest. On the lintel of the barn door can be read: 'renewed by E.v.d.S. Gz H.v.d.S. 1862'. The dwelling section is of later date; a façade stone in the dwelling mentions 'rebuilt 1895'. The kitchen extension and the roof dormer above date from the 1930s.

INTERIOR.

Of particular importance in the interior is the kitchen with late 19th-century fittings. Dominant in this room is a large fireplace with fireplace plates (year 1856) with tilework in Delft blue depicting Biblical scenes. At the cooking place a stove from around 1900. The kitchen with a beam ceiling has high wall tilework, panelled doors, a bitters cabinet and bird cages.
