Description

Description

The coach house was built in 1862 on the instructions of Charlotte Cuypers-Storm. It is a building on a U-shaped plan and has a ground floor, mezzanine and roof. It is constructed of brick, rendered and sparingly provided with natural stone. The front facade has five bays, the middle three with double carriage doors. The side facades have three bays, the rear facade is less strictly structured. The building is executed in a rustic neoclassical style with bands, rustication etc., relatively rich but clearly less elegant than the country house. In this way the functional distinction is emphasized in the execution.

Internally the coach house contains various original components and still largely retains the old structure. Coach house, stables and service quarters are still recognizable.

Valuation The coach house, built in 1862, is of general importance because of:

- the building type coach house with ancillary spaces, relatively large and luxuriously executed;

- the robust neoclassical design, recurring in a largely symmetrical arrangement, moulding work, rustication etc.; intact interior components;

- the visual and functional coherence with the country estate, especially with country house and kitchen garden;

- the high degree of integrity, especially of the exterior and of the coherence with the country estate;

- the rarity of such large coach houses, executed in a relatively rare, relatively rich neoclassical style.
