Description

Introduction

Around 1840 a STOLP FARMHOUSE built in regional style of the North Holland type, which around 1900 was provided with a new front facade (show facade) with an extended central front room and above it in the roof panel a chapel. The farmhouse, named "St.Cunerahoeve" stands on the south side of the Dr. de Vriesstraat (formerly Dorpsweg) with the ridge line perpendicular to the street. The farmhouse was built as a tenant farmhouse next to the older - protected as a national monument - stolp farmhouse of the West Frisian type at Dr. de Vriesstraat 12. The farmhouse is largely well preserved, only the cattle shed located on the west side (long range) and south side (short range) was recently largely converted into a dwelling. In doing so, the west and south facades were renewed and provided with larger windows than the original barn windows. The long range originally ran through to the front facade (N). The aforementioned modifications have not, however, harmed the monumental value.

Description

North Holland stolp farmhouse built on a rectangular floor plan with in the northern corner a short extension piece that forms the connection with the perpendicularly positioned wagon shed. The farmhouse has a reed-thatched hipped roof with a roof panel with arch motif on the street side (N), a roof panel with stepped motif on the rear side (Z) and a continuous tile border above the gutter lines. The panel on the street side is covered with black glazed Dutch tiles, the panel on the rear side and the remaining tile-covered parts have mostly red Dutch tiles. In the panel on the street side there is a roof dormer and in the middle of the reed-thatched roof surface above this panel a tall rectangular chimney. The internal timber load-bearing structure consists of a rectangular square with tie beam trusses and overhang above the dwelling (N). The structure has mostly braces with half-timbered notch jointing. The beams are mostly edge-set. On the east side of the square is the threshing floor with the original threshing floor consisting of small yellow clinker bricks. Along the entire north side (front facade) is the dwelling and on the west side and south side is the aforementioned former cattle shed, which has been converted into a dwelling. The front facade (N) is built of red sandstone above a grey cemented plinth. On the corners and in the arched sections above windows and door, white sandstone is incorporated for decoration. The front facade has a symmetrical layout with a width of six window bays. In the second bay from the right (N) the front door is placed; otherwise T-windows. The two central bays are in the three-sided extension behind which the show room is located. This flat-roofed extension has narrow H-windows in the sloped sides and, like the entire front facade, is terminated with a heavy cornice. The cornice is decorated in the middle with carved timber work placed on the gutter line. The window frames are all provided with rounded upper corners. The front door is a panelled door with cast iron grille infill. The roof dormer located in the panel is entirely executed in timber and for decoration provided with rich carved timber work. This timber carving flanks the front of the chapel and is furthermore on the upper and lower side of the wind braces and on the underside of the gutter lines. The front of the roof dormer consists of a double door with diamond-shaped decoration in the panes which cover two-thirds of the door height. Both sides of the chapel are executed in rabat sections. The roof dormer has a gently sloping and overhanging gabled roof with mastic covering. The left side (E), largely threshing floor wall and only in the north-east corner side wall of the dwelling, is entirely executed in horizontal boarding above cemented plinth. This wooden wall has a wooden gutter line on carved blocks. This gutter line is lower than the gutter line of the front facade. The east wall has a T-window at the height of the dwelling. The threshing floor is lit by two small square cross windows. The rear side (Z) has the threshing floor door in the eastern corner. The left corner (N) contains the short extension piece that forms the transition to the wagon shed. The extension piece is a single-storey volume under tile-covered gabled roof. In the end gable (Z) is a panelled door with fanlight. The brickwork in red brick is together with the brickwork of the rear facade recently renewed. The wagon shed is a single-storey volume under a high, on the south side attached, gabled roof with red Dutch tiles. Both end gables have gable tops consisting of (renewed) vertical boarding. The brickwork is executed in red brick in which vertical wall anchors anchor the timber wall posts of the load-bearing structure. The brickwork still has the original windows and doors in the east and south facades. The east facade has a low door with fanlight, a high double hinged wagon door and a semi-circular cast iron barn window, the latter being located in the section under the attachment. The low wall of the south facade has a four-pane window and a door composed of vertical planks.

Valuation

The stolp farmhouse executed in regional building style is of general significance due to cultural historical and architectural historical value as a well-preserved example of traditional rural architecture from the 19th century with an early 20th-century front facade. The object also has ensemble value in relation to the already protected stolp farmhouses at Dr. de Vriesstraat 6 and 12.
