Description

Introduction

FARM of the hall-house type with bakehouse, rebuilt in 1880 and principal component of the farmstead complex 'Hoeve de Beek'.

Description

The detached, partly cellarated farm is constructed in fair-faced brickwork in Flemish bond from a rectangular ground plan under a reed-covered half-hipped roof with muted eave ridges. The gable end walls are provided with basketwork. Around, with the exception of the rear facade, a cemented and light blue painted plinth has been applied. Staff anchors and date anchors are used in front and rear facades. The nearly symmetrically arranged, four-bay front facade (northwest side) has four flush windows with straight lintels and wooden shutters and matching eaves mouldings. In the first storey are located two six-light sash windows with to the left and right thereof narrow three-light sash windows. Lower left is a cellar window with shutter and theft bars. On the upper storey is located a smaller window with six-light sash window.

The right side facade (southwest side) contains on the left a four-light chamber window with shutter with below it a cellar window. To the right thereof are located alternately three slightly arched windows with roll moulding with six-light steel windows and three arched doors. The left side facade (northeast side) contains four windows with concrete frames and three arched doors. The symmetrically arranged rear facade (southeast side) contains in the centre a basket arch-shaped entrance with straight lintel with double, wooden carriage doors. In the left door is located a pedestrian door. On either side are located flush windows with slightly arched roll moulding. To the left and right are located basket arch-shaped closed doors below a basket arch-shaped roll moulding with at the far left and right a semicircular stable window, likewise with roll moulding. Above the carriage doors is located an arched shutter with roll moulding and above it a semicircular loft window. The date anchors form the year 1880.

The bakehouse situated at right angles to the farm is constructed in brick from a rectangular ground plan. The gabled roof is covered with muted Dutch tiles. In both long facades (northwest and southeast side) is located a non-original flush window. The gable end wall (northeast side) is blank.

In the interior the original layout and detailing are largely preserved. Under the current kitchen floor lie blue tiles. In the front room are located wooden panelled doors, frames and a fixed cupboard wall. The entire southeast wall is tiled in white up to the height of the eaves mouldings. In this tiling are located early nineteenth-century, manganese-coloured tile tableaux. The tableaux from left to right have as subject: canary in bird cage, flower still life with vase, cow with maid, gentleman farmer with horse. Along the entire room width is a chimney with wooden chimney beam. To the right thereof is located the access to the wainscotted bed alcove in the right chamber. Below this chamber is a cellar with barrel vault and iron beams. On the left in the front hall is a cellar with conical vault, tiles, rendered staircase and clamped door with above it a cheese loft. In the chimney is located - at the level of the loft of the front hall - a wide iron smoke flap. The largely open, three-aisle stable has dung floors, a dung loft and a servants' room.

Valuation

The hall-house farm with bakehouse from 1880 is of general importance on account of its cultural and architectural-historical value through its characteristic, well-preserved main form, the detailing in the interior, the age of reused materials and preserved components such as the cellar and the historical-functional coherence with the other complex components. The farm has landscape value on account of its visually determining location in the open pasture landscape.
