Description

Introduction

Attractive head-neck-body farmhouse with associated bakehouse, erected in 1886 in a Craftsman-traditional building style. The farmhouse and bakehouse are situated just to the southeast of an estate grounds which, on the map of B. Schotanaus à Sterringa / F Halma (1718), is marked as Hooghuistra and later by W. Eekhoff (1854) as Camminga-state or Hooghuistra-state. The estate was presumably demolished at the end of the 18th century or the beginning of the 19th century. Two carved stone lions bearing shields (now stored in the barn) were preserved and, in the rear facade, a commemorative stone with an alliance coat of arms of Van Cammingha (?) - Van Albada (possibly belonging to the married couple Gerrit Ferdinand van Cammingha, who died 27 December 1770 and Anna Catharina Eleanora Onesimus-Andreas dr van Albada, who died 2 April 1762). The present farmhouse is situated approximately where the "slot place" dating from 1788 previously stood. The former estate grounds now belonging to the farmhouse are fully surrounded by a moat except for a dam and comprise, besides an orchard with standard apple, pear and plum trees, a small vegetable garden. With the exception of the access drive, virtually nothing has been preserved of the original plot layout and associated planting. The entire moated area (former estate grounds and the section on which the farmhouse stands) is protected as an archaeological monument. Since 1998 the farmhouse has had no agricultural function and has been carefully adapted to its new use as a residential farmhouse. Approaching from the southeast, the whole ensemble forms a characterful part of the village streetscape. NB: the wagon shed with potato storage is not protected by the state due to excessive alterations.

Head. The north facade at ground floor level is blind; at roof height two six-light windows. In the east facade a leaded door with fanlight and cast-iron ornamental grilles and three leaded six-light windows; to the right of the door a foundation stone inscribed "Kobbe Baerdt van Slooten 1886". In the west facade a square window and door with fanlight; roof dormer (not original). Neck. In the east facade a door with fanlight and iron ornamental grilles and two six-light windows. In the west facade a square window; rod anchors; drip gutter on wooden blocks. Body. In the north facade two six-light windows (replaced), a door with fanlight, three two-part milk-cellar windows with cast-iron grilles; upper room window; rod anchors; drip gutter on wooden blocks; roof dormer (not original). In the east facade a four-light window, a door and sixteen vertically-closing concrete stable windows (1946). In the south facade high split doors, double and single stable doors, five vertically-closing stable windows (1946); above these two horizontal barred windows between which a carved commemorative stone originating from the demolished Cammingha estate; rod anchors. In the west facade five small leaded iron stable windows with glazing bars, leaded double door and two two-part cellar windows with cast-iron grilles; roof dormer (not original). INTERIOR. The interior of the residential house is preserved in part in original condition (floor plan and furnishings). Matters of importance include: In the front room a wooden box-bed wall with three box-beds and two cupboards, the wooden floor, the stucco ceiling, the window sills, fold-up shutters on two windows, panelled doors and a fireplace with corner pilasters and veined chimney mantel. In the rear room in the neck, restored to its original state, the wooden floor, the window sills and the fold-up shutters, the wooden beamed ceiling, a box-bed wall for two box-beds and an intermediate cupboard; the wooden fireplace with veined chimney mantel. The wooden floor in the hallway has been re-stencilled following the pattern of the original stencilwork. To the rear right in the hallway lies the staircase to the upper floor. The kitchen too (currently still under restoration) originally had a box-bed. Milk-cellar: the windows of the milk-cellar retain on the inside the original internal shutters. In the (deep) cellar stands a pantry cupboard and two large stone tanks which, like the floor, are finished with a hard silt layer. A small trap-door is connected to a large wooden tub. Barn section: the interior of the very spacious barn with its roof truss structure was adapted in 1946 to the requirements of the time and has not been altered since. In the barn are among other things still present the cow stalls, a storage space for potatoes and a smoke-house with rounded brick top. Here also stand the two stone lions from the former Cammingha estate. They once flanked a bridge between the farmhouse and the estate grounds. BAKEHOUSE. A bakehouse (1886) situated to the west of the farmhouse, constructed from (reused?) Frisian yellow bricks and covered by a gabled roof laid with Dutch tiles; weathervanes; rod anchors. In the eastern gable a vertically-closing door; the western gable is blind. In the southern and northern longitudinal facades a small leaded iron window.

Valuation

The farmhouse and associated bakehouse are of general importance on account of their cultural-historical, architectural-historical and ensemble value.

The farmhouse is of cultural-historical importance as a distinctive link in the development of farmhouse building in the Netherlands and as a good example of a highly characteristic, regionally-specific Frisian type. It is also of importance on account of its historical relationship with the vanished Cammingha estate and the still present estate grounds. It has architectural-historical value as a good example of late 19th-century rural building in Craftsman-traditional style and on account of the coherence between interior and exterior. It has ensemble value on account of the visual and functional coherence with the outbuildings and on account of the historical-spatial relationship with the adjacent archaeologically significant estate grounds. It is also of importance on account of its location and as a characterful part of the village streetscape. The farmhouse is furthermore of importance on account of its recognisability and the reasonably high degree of integrity of the exterior and parts of the interior.
