Description

Introduction.

In the hamlet of Uppel at the Uppelse Hoek lie two valuable groups of buildings. The FARMHOUSE, the former Jagershof, is one of six objects within the largest of these groups. It lies on the northern side of the Uppelse Hoek on higher-lying terrain and is separated from the road by a front garden. The farmhouse is L-shaped and positioned such that the attached residential part with its short side and the barn with its long side face the road. The entrance lane divides before the farmhouse, so that in the angle of the building lies the farmyard with a tree at its centre.

Description.

The single-storey, partly cellaried residential building is built of stretcher-bonded red brickwork under a gabled roof with half-hipped end covered with black cross tiles. On the roof two chimneys. In the symmetrical front facade lies centrally the entrance with two windows on either side. On the upper storey two T-windows. The facade is finished below the half-hipped end by a flat frieze with moulded cornice, the sloping sides with a roll moulding. The side wall to the farmyard has a corner window as in the front facade. Further an oculus with iron frame, a door and two six-pane sash windows, an iron stable window with geometric division and small oculus in the barn section. In the northeastern side wall lie two six-pane sash windows and two barred cellar windows. Rod wall anchors in all facades. The house has retained its main division with central corridor with black marble tiles and rooms on either side, with in the left corner room a black marble fireplace between cupboards with panel doors. On the ground floor the beam ceilings are visible. Further important from the interior are: the kitchen completely tiled with small white tiles with above two doors colourful tile tableaux with birdcages; the large fireplace with some remaining tile infill in the kitchen; black floor tiles in kitchen and the lower-lying scullery; deep two-part cellar with trough vaults; the panel doors. The barn is built of stretcher-bonded dark brickwork under a gabled roof with half-hipped end. The roof section in line with the house is covered with old Dutch tiles. The roof adjoining at right angles to the farmyard is covered with dark improved Dutch tiles, at the rear with corrugated sheets. The wall to the farmyard has a cemented plinth and in the angle double stable doors opening outward, further an iron stable window and two six-pane windows with three-part casement window all under a segmental arch. The gable end, of which the upper part with bracing is largely hidden behind corrugated sheets, has high inward-sliding barn doors with four lights and double clamp doors on iron hinges under a roll moulding. The gable and rear walls of the barn are built of large-format brickwork. In the rear wall lie high double barn doors running through the roof eave and clamp doors reaching to the roof eave on iron hinges. Further five stable windows as aforesaid. Internally lie six double collar tie roof trusses with scissor-truss with tie beam and one collar tie roof truss.

Opposite the gable end of the barn lies a detached rectangular brick outbuilding under a gabled roof between spout gables with roll mouldings. In both stepped gables an iron rose window and semi-circular stable window. Two similar stable windows also in the rear wall, while in the wall to the farmyard lie double barn doors with iron grille and a walk-in door. Rod wall anchors in all walls.

Valuation.

The farmhouse is of general importance. It has cultural-historical value as an example of the development of agriculture in the region and because of the exceptional typology of the L-shaped farmhouse. Architecturally it is important because it represents an unusual type and because of its simple but harmonious detailing and because of the coherence between interior and exterior. It has ensemble value as a higher-lying farmhouse visible from a wide area, which is a characteristic component of a valuable group of buildings at the Uppelse Hoek. The farmhouse has been preserved substantially intact in its main form and parts of its interior and possesses rarity value.
