Description

Introduction

On the south side of the Burgemeester van Erpstraat, around 1870, this DWELLING HOUSE, originally perhaps from the seventeenth century, was thoroughly rebuilt and provided with a new front facade in sober traditional forms. The building has an older core and many of the old building fragments have been reused. The former coach house on the right side was largely demolished in 1978 and falls outside the protection afforded by national heritage legislation. This also applies to the square single-storey extension at the rear and the freestanding large barn at the rear of the property.

Description

Large, partially cellar-ed building of two storeys on a rectangular ground plan under a hipped roof covered with black Dutch tiles. On each of the tops of the roof slopes stands a chimney. The ridge runs parallel to the street. The roof was replaced in 1978. The symmetrically constructed building has facades in fair-faced brickwork of machine-made brick, laid in bond and comprises five bays. The windows and the centrally located entrance are straight-headed and each topped with a segmental arch. The windows have six-pane sash windows. The windows on the ground floor have alternating dorsal blocks and shutters. Cemented plinth, wall anchors and cornice at the height of the sills of the first-storey windows. The first-storey windows have grooved cock's combs at the top. Large main cornice with drip moulding. The building has a fine green-painted double panelled door with a central spike. The door is further ornamented with iron dog-head knockers. On the rear side, next to the straight-headed door, a straight-headed twenty-five-pane sash window has been placed. On the right side of the door there is a single-storey extension on a square ground plan under a flat roof. This extension probably dates from the end of the 1930s. The left side facade has asymmetrically placed and differently sized, straight-headed windows with shutters and glazing bars. Also a barred cellar window has been installed. Above the windows wall anchors have been placed. The right side facade is in terms of the windows identically detailed to the front facade. The first-storey window has been renewed. The greater part of this side facade is obscured by a single-storey extension on a rectangular ground plan under a hipped roof covered with black Dutch tiles with a shield in the junction. Gable end cladded with vertically placed wooden planks. This extension, which formerly served as a coach house, has various doors, both straight-headed and with a round arch. Except for the front facade, this extension was completely demolished in 1978 and thus falls outside the protection afforded by national heritage legislation. At the rear of the building there is still, according to a facade stone dated 1876, a tall single-storey stable building under a roof covered with Dutch tiles. The stable building has been substantially altered internally and falls outside the protection afforded by national heritage legislation. The oldest part of the building is formed by the double cellar located on the left side of the passage, each part with a barrel vault. Internally the dwelling on the ground floor is divided by a broad passage with marble tiles. Most of the hinges and fasteners are still in original condition. There are also some rooms with ornamented stucco ceilings. At the rear there is the original tiled kitchen with a double flue. Further a box bed and some built-in cupboards. Virtually all rooms still have the simple beam layer that supports the oak floorboards; this probably dates from the eighteenth century. On the attic floor there is a rafter roof with collar ties, of which large parts are probably still from the seventeenth century. Mostly oak beams with hewn carpenters' marks. The breastwork is situated well above the attic beam layer.
