Description

Introduction

FARMHOUSE ('Dorpzicht') for mixed agricultural use of the side-passage-share type. The originally much older farmhouse was rebuilt in 1891, whereby the interior elements executed in Neo-Classical style from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century were retained. The current appearance of the farm is characteristic of many nineteenth-century farmhouses, which were built in a Traditional-craft building style. At the entrance to the farmyard a GATE with cast-iron, nineteenth-century gate posts and swing gates.

Description

In yellow (residential section) and red brick (business section), composed of two rectangular building elements, the farmhouse is covered with suppressed Dutch tiles (residential section) and cross tiles (business section) with gabled roofs with half-hipped ends. The gable openings in the residential section are straight-sided; those in the business section have various forms.

The farmhouse, with its ridge line parallel to the road, has a front facade of the cornice-topped facade type. The symmetrical facade is provided with gable openings standing under roof ridges of red brick. The centrally placed front door, dating from approximately 1930, has a six-pane fanlight and on either side a window with glazing bars in the sash frames. The attic storey contains two four-pane windows with sash frames and between them a stone tablet with the rebuild date (1891) and a plastered triangular spandrel resembling an embedded pediment, with coats of arms. The facade has inward angles with projecting drip mouldings clad with zinc and is crowned at the shoulders by ashlar volutes. The facade has a termination in the form of an entablature with simple ornaments in the frieze and a profiled, projecting cornice. The right side facade has a plastered plinth and contains two large windows standing under lintels with glazing bars in the sash frames for the reception room. The shutter-hung cellar windows below are fitted with theft bars. The two windows with six-pane sash frames on the right in the facade also stand under lintels. Between these windows and the roof gutter is a shutter. The profiled gutter mouldings rest on wrought-iron cramps. The left side facade is provided with two large windows with glazing bars in the sash frames, which stand under lintels. Above a non-original window to the left of these is a shutter. In the somewhat lower facade of the business section stand a non-original door and an arched cast-iron window with glazing bars. The flat roof gutter of the residential house also rests here on wrought-iron cramps. From the roof plate above protrudes a narrow chimney leaning against the front facade of the barn.

All facades of the younger business section have a rendered plinth. The front of the barn, to the right of the residential house, originally contained double entrance doors, which have been replaced by a roller door. The gable opening is provided with hardstone quoins and stands under a roll moulding and an arched window with radial glazing bars in the form of a rising sun. The facade is provided with wind braces and a cast-iron grille window under the half-hipped end.

The right long facade contains two small, semi-circular stable windows with cast-iron frames, a pair of added sliding doors and at the far right a stable door composed of an upper and lower section under a four-pane fanlight. The roof gutter rests on wooden cramps.

The rear facade contains from left to right three arched stable windows with cast-iron frames, a door and a fourth identical stable window. The large square gable opening on the right in the facade is not original. Approximately at the height of the roof edge is a series of shingles attached to the facade. This gable facade too is provided with wind braces and a round window with iron frame under the half-hipped end.

The left long facade is partly hidden from view by an extension added in 1998, which replaced the nineteenth-century churn house. The still-visible part of the facade to the left of the extension contains three arched windows with iron frames. The roof gutter also rests here on wooden cramps.

The interior of the residential section still contains eighteenth and nineteenth-century and possibly even older components. The floor of the hallway and the hall behind the front door is covered with a pattern composed of black and white marble tiles laid diagonally. The ceilings are of profiled stucco and wood and the walls are provided with marbled door and arch mouldings and partly wooden walls and pilasters. The arched passage to the rear, as well as that of the stair have a profiled marbled moulding with small capitals and a keystone with acanthus leaf motifs. The arches stand between pilasters topped with a capital. The arches form the base of a wooden entablature with geometric motifs in the frieze and a profiled cornice. Above this are two windows separated by a wooden pendant under a profile moulding. The left window is part of a servants' or farmhands' room, the right window is part of the stair passage. The reception room to the right of the hall contains among other things a fireplace with a partly wooden mantelpiece, on which stands a profiled lintel. The breast is enlivened by a relief of branches with leaves and an eagle and crowned by a richly worked entablature with a projecting cornice. The cellar under the reception room is probably the oldest part of the farmhouse. The large, double cellar is provided among other things with a hardstone threshold, stair treads with natural stone tiles, floors with paving tiles and barrel vaults. An even older third cellar contains among other things very old, hand-painted tiles, beaten earth, and a well. The passage to the rear with among other things wooden doors with imitation panels and marbled profile mouldings leads into a small hall with among other things panel doors and a convexly vaulted wall with likewise convexly vaulted panel doors. The steep stair behind the right arched passage is provided with marbled treads and stair strings and leads to the attic via an intermediate landing with an intermediate door, behind which a narrow stair continues further up. The attic is provided among other things with a fruit store and a chimney with space behind the shutters for smoking meat products. The rear attic above the kitchen is boarded with wooden walls and contains among other things a bed alcove. The roof truss has a common structure with Dutch roof trusses. The three-aisle business section has been partly rebuilt. The cattle stalls are no longer present and other original spaces and components have also been replaced or removed.

The entrance gate consisting of two cast-iron gate posts and the associated gate works at the entrance to the farmyard are also subject to protection.
