Description

Description

THREE-BAY FARMHOUSE

The villa-like FRONT HOUSE comprises two storeys and an attic storey on a rectangular plan. The composite roof consists of a gabled roof placed at right angles against a half-hipped roof. The slopes are covered with flush Dutch tiles and fitted with white-painted wind vanes. On the two ridge ends a weathervane is placed, detailed with sharp points. Drainage takes place via a wooden gutter on black-painted brackets. The facades have a plastered plinth and are built in red brick, laid in English bond. For embellishment yellow facing brick is applied in decorative bond, including as horizontal bands running across the facade and in the arches (straight and segmental arches) and as arch fill above the facade openings. On the facade corners there are built-out pilasters. In the facades sash windows with fanlights are predominantly applied in the first storey, which are now all single-pane and on the upper storey casement windows under 10-pane fanlights with coloured glass. The windows have an undersill and the sash windows are fitted with shutters with solid panels on the underside.

The FRONT FACADE has four bays and has three sash windows in the first storey, including a coupled sash window and on the upper storey four casement windows. In the second bay is the recessed entrance, with a panel door fitted with grillwork. Above the door is a fanlight. The porch has tiled wainscoting.

Against the RIGHT SIDE FACADE of the front house adjoins a single-storey intermediate section. In the facade alongside and above are various sash, casement and French windows. The LEFT SIDE FACADE has, on the right, between built-out pilasters a tall section, terminated with a spout gable beneath the half-hipped roof. Against this facade adjoins a wooden conservatory, on a built plinth. The windows of the conservatory have on the underside still the original division into small panes and possess ornamented alternating sills. The conservatory is terminated by a moulded cornice on cut consoles. In the consoles the name of the building owner is incorporated. The conservatory bears a balcony with a non-original balustrade. The double French doors have a six-pane fanlight. In the flattened spout gable are two single-pane windows. On either side of these windows the spout gable is boarded with vertical, underside-cut sections. In the lower, left facade section is in the first storey a double garden door under single-pane fanlight and on the upper storey a casement window as already described. The REAR FACADE of the front house joins on the left against the service section. On the right is a projecting section with a pointed gable in which a sash and casement window is located, as already described. In the pointed gable are two single-pane windows. The top is boarded in the manner already described. The recessed section on the left is blank, aside from two windows of the already described type, in the first and second storey.

On the left against the rear facade of the front house adjoins the SERVICE SECTION. This section consists of a three-bay barn with at the front several ancillary structures, in the form of a single-storey flat-roofed intermediate section and a transversely placed two-storey building block beneath a gabled roof. The three-bay barn is covered by a composite roof consisting of three arched gabled roofs with owl boards and two gabled roofs between them with lower ridge heights (originally these were two flat roofs). The roofs are now partly tiled and partly covered with corrugated sheets. The ridge ends are fitted with weathervanes as described in the front house and along the roofs run white-painted wind vanes. The FRONT FACADE of the service section consists on the left of the intermediate section in which is a door under fanlight and a window with mirror shutters. The facade is terminated here by an open-work balustrade in two-coloured brick with three-part motifs. Here adjoins on the right the two-storey barn, in which on the left is a composite frame with door and window and on the right a arched, diagonally clamped carriage door under segmental arch. In the side facade of this building block are in the first storey two tall windows with multi-pane iron glazing bars and a loading hatch flanked by four-pane iron windows in the pointed gable. The remainder of the front facade is filled with large and small iron stable windows, stable doors, some shutters and a half-door completely on the right. The RIGHT SIDE FACADE has five bays which are separated by built pilasters with in each bay a segmental arch-shaped iron six-pane stable window on undersill. The three former stable doors are blocked up. The LEFT SIDE FACADE consists of seven bays, which just as in the RIGHT SIDE FACADE are separated by built pilasters and filled with stable windows. Here however the segmental arches are executed in red brick and yellow facing brick. The REAR FACADE consists of five unequal sections. The three facade sections beneath half-hipped roof, have half-doors flanked by stable windows and above them a loading hatch flanked by half windows. In the arches above the half-doors are facade stones set in that came from the old farmhouse. Between these are narrower, flat-roofed intermediate sections with small stable doors and loading hatches. The INTERIOR of villa and service section is for the most part intact and altered in secondary respects. The internal structure is virtually unchanged. The originally austere residential section, has a monumental hallway to which residential rooms and service rooms adjoin. In the hallway a wooden dog-leg staircase leads to the upper storey where a large number of simple bedrooms are situated. In the stair stringers the initials of the building owner are executed. In the interior virtually all original wooden doors remain and in the former enfilade rooms there is a fireplace. In the service section the original cow stall and horse stall are no longer present but part of the cattle stall is. Furthermore the traditional construction with anchor beam posts and bracing remains unchanged. On the right the middle longitudinal section with section, stalls and hay loft is still completely intact.

Valuation

THREE-BAY FARMHOUSE (complex component A) built in 1909 according to the design of architect HEUVELINK.

-Of architectural historical value as a well and in main form faithfully preserved example of a large farmhouse from the beginning of the twentieth century. The farmhouse stands out through its typologically distinctive main form and has a simple, but careful detailing. The imposing three-bay barn in combination with the apparently independent villa-like front house in austere transition style, is a type rarely occurring in that period.

-Of urban planning value as the main component of the Abbinck farm complex. The farmhouse has ensemble values with the bee house and by virtue of its distinctive appearance, including the imposing rear facade of the service section, plays a visually determining role.

-Of cultural historical value because of the type of farmhouse, which is of significance within the agricultural history of the Netherlands.
