Description

Introduction

The FARMHOUSE of the head-rump type has a complex prehistory. In its place stood a farmhouse of the South Frisian type, of which the memorial stone has been re-embedded in the barn. In 1867 H. Luiking from Lemmer designed an experimental articulated farmhouse, called Oranjehoeve, on commission from Jan Bieruma Oosting. A violent fire destroyed much of the farmhouse in 1897; only the front house survived. The barn section was rebuilt in 1898 by carpenter J.G. Brouwer, but in a traditional barn form. The front house serves entirely as a dwelling, as does the first part of the rump, which otherwise largely has a business function.

Description

The completely cellared front house of one storey has a rectangular ground plan. The projecting gabled roof, with cut cleats and a wind vane, is covered with black smoke-treated corrugated Frisian tiles. The gable top is provided with renewed wooden fretwork and an ornamental barge board. On the ridge is a masonry chimney with chimney board. The rising masonry of the front house consists of brown bricks on a trash frame of yellow bricks. The facades are enlivened with yellow brick decorations. For example, the facade corners are built up in yellow stone. A yellow band runs around the front house at the level of the under-dormer. Furthermore, the windows on all facades have a yellow brick surround and eyebrow arches consisting of alternating yellow and brown bricks. The south facade is four window bays wide. The basement storey has four blind windows with pressed segment arches in yellow bricks. The upper storey is divided by four arched H-windows with blinds. In the gable top is an arched three-light window. On either side of this window two medallions of yellow brick; the architect originally designed cow heads in the medallions. The side facades are three window bays deep. The basement storey has arched windows with shutters and theft irons. In the west facade are two H-windows with blinds and a blind window; in the eastern side facade are an H-window with blind and two blind windows. All window surrounds have a yellow brick surround. Under the eaves are ornamental wall anchors. The rump is built up in brown bricks and is built on a rectangular ground plan with a lower annex on the northeast side; the southwest part of the rump is the living kitchen. The hipped roof is laid with black smoke-treated corrugated Frisian tiles and the eastern roof slope with red unglazed corrugated Frisian tiles. On the front is a masonry chimney at the corner of ridge and hip rafters. On the ridge corners stand two renewed owl boards. In the west facade is a wooden door with fanlight and next to it are two H-windows under a continuous lintel. In the gable is a six-pane window. The west facade is further divided by a wooden door and four iron arched nine-pane windows under a continuous lintel and with a masonry sill. Between the first two windows is a double wooden clamped stable door. In the roof slope are two skylights with wooden scroll brackets. In the (northern) rear facade is a memorial stone with inscription: REBUILT 1867 1767 ON 1 APRIL HENDRIK ANDERS LAID THE FIRST STONE OF THIS HOUSE AGE 6 YEARS AND 14 DAYS. In the rear facade are double barn doors and arched iron four-pane stable windows. The lower annex has the same rear line as the rump. The facade division of the annex consists of four-pane stable windows and renewed concrete windows. The facade division of the top gable consists of a double wooden door and hay loft door in the gable top. In the eastern side facade are nine four-pane stable windows under a continuous lintel and with a masonry sill. In the roof slope are two wooden roof dormers.

The interior of the dwelling and business section is largely intact with respect to layout and partially with respect to detailing. Thus, for example, a fireplace and bed-alcove wall in the upper storey are still present. In the rump is a bacon chamber above the kitchen, and bed-alcoves for servants are present in the stables.

Valuation

The farmhouse, partially built in 1867 and rebuilt in 1898 in Oudeschoot, is of cultural-historical and architectural-historical importance:

- as an original and essential main component of the visually and spatially very well-preserved farmhouse complex with barn, manure storage and stoke house,

- because of the reasonable degree of aesthetic quality of the design,

- because of the detailing and ornamentation of the front house in a landscape style,

- because of the reasonable degree of architectural integrity of the exterior and interior,

- because of the historical-spatial relationship of the farmhouse with the surrounding area,

- because of the high degree of importance as an essential component of a larger whole that is of cultural-historical national importance, namely the area with the country estates c.a. Oranjewoud-Oudeschoot.
