Description

Introduction

In layout an early 18th-century or older FARMHOUSE with attached presumably still first half 19th-century STILT FARMHOUSE, located on an embanked plot. The business section (barn) was built in 1679 according to gable stones set into it, renewed at the rear in 1790 and rebuilt in 1870. The farmhouse, also known as the 'Kleasterpleats', was founded by the Harlingen merchant and regent family Fontein and is very prominently situated, directly west of the Reformed church and within the protected townscape of Achlum.

Description

HEAD-TAIL FARMHOUSE with low-undercellared front house. The FRONT HOUSE, in layout of circa 1700, is built of yellow Frisian brick (side gables) and red brick (front gable; standing bond) and is covered by a saddle roof lined with blue-glazed flat Frisian tiles against a pointed gable to the front; tall chimneys with caps. Ornamental wall anchors (front gable) and quoins (side gables). In the top gable, which is crossed by a natural stone drip moulding and beneath which two gable stones with respectively the inscription ANNO and 1700, three six-light sash windows; at the top an armorial stone and two attic windows enlarged to monastery windows; stepped details. In the left side gable two arched six-light sash windows with blinds; two two-light cellar windows with shutters and two straight-closed (shorter) six-light sash windows at the level of the bed alcoves, likewise with blinds. In the right side gable three two-light cellar windows with shutters, clamped door with fanlight; six-light sash window. In the INTERIOR are among other things important: the hallway with 19th-century black and white Namur stone tiles; the 18th-century tiles with Biblical scenes and depictions of sea creatures; the 18th-century clamped door to the parlour; the 18th-century parlour (presumably still from circa 1700) and the simple 19th-century bed alcove wall; the 18th-century cellar under the parlour, laid with small blue and red glazed tiles and a series of 18th-century tiles with simple motifs. The BUSINESS SECTION is built of yellow Frisian brick and is covered by a largely thatched hipped roof with owl boards at front and rear; front hip and part of both side hips covered with damped blue flat Frisian tiles; wall anchors. The internal (tie beam) rafter structure (presumably 1870) is largely still original. In the front gable two six-light windows, a double entrance door with fanlight and cast-iron decorative grilles, non-original sliding windows and a clamped door with fanlight. The (renewed) left side gable is regularly arranged by several buttresses, between which in each case three rectangular stable windows. In the right side gable manure doors and small windows of varying size; the detailing of the rear gable (with lightly arched stable doors and windows) no longer entirely original. In the rear gable several commemorative stones, one of which with carved coat of arms, which refer to the building activities from 1679, 1790 and 1870.

STILT FARMHOUSE. The attached (possibly still first half 19th-century) stelp is built of yellow Frisian brick and is covered by a hipped roof partly covered with Dutch tiles (residential section; predominantly blue), partly with thatch (barn section); tall chimney at front; owl board at rear. In the residential section four six-light sash windows (front gable) and a clamped wooden door with fanlight (right side gable); left side wall blind. In the equally projecting and with buttresses reinforced right side gable a clamped wooden door with three-light side windows and several four-light windows. In the left side gable, likewise with buttresses, non-original stable windows. In the rear gable arched double carriage doors. INTERIOR. The internal layout of the modest residential section is still clearly recognizable; the rafter structure in the business section is still the original.
