Description

Description component 3: CARRIAGE HOUSE.

Introduction

Situated at the northwest side of the forecourt, the 18th-century CARRIAGE HOUSE (3) also contains a horse stable and a harness room. Stylistically, the carriage house shows correspondence with the facing steward's house (1) in terms of principal form and detailing.

N.B.: The storage shed placed against the rear facade under a lean-to roof is of subsidiary importance for the protection.

Description

Detached single-storey building volume on an elongated ground plan is covered by a hipped roof with suppressed Dutch tiles, fitted with lead ridge and hip tiles. The facades of red brick (cross-bond) show building traces of a disappeared extension at the northwest side, of which the ground plan is still partly recognisable. Most of the facade openings are covered by a segmental arch with curved underside, the stable and carriage doors by a roller arch. The facades are finished with a moulded wooden drip moulding. The front facade facing the driveway (southwest) was plastered in the 19th century with false joints imitating a block pattern. The plinth is painted black. Symmetrically, two six-pane sash windows are placed in the facade. The right side facade, situated on the courtyard side, has in the middle an entrance to the stable section with several sandstone blocks for the hinges and locks and is provided with a clamped door. The middle of the facade is accentuated by a shutter protruding through the drip moulding, crowned by a segmental arch pediment and provided with a hoist shutter. The panel door is fitted with glass panes. To the left of the door are four and to the right one window with deep reveals and glazed windows with transom bar. On the left the facade is closed off by a blocked door. At the right end there is a composite door arrangement with three clamped double doors, each under a two-pane fanlight. The light openings are covered with iron grillwork in a diamond pattern. Between the first and second window to the left of the stable door is an iron tap and handle, which are connected to a pump on the inside. On either side of the hoist shutter, a roof dormer with double six-pane windows is symmetrically placed in the roof slope. At the left side facade, almost in the middle, a clamped double stable door is placed. At the far right there is a clamped, two-part door, fitted with glass panes. To the right are some iron hooks with rings for the horses. The rear facade is blank.

Interior. The interior is largely in original condition with clinker paving on the floor and a beam ceiling. On the southwest side there is a harness room with a harness cabinet and shutters in front of the windows. This space is accessible from the stable via the original clamped door. At the stable section on the northeast wall is an open wooden staircase to the loft.

Valuation

The CARRIAGE HOUSE is of general interest because of its cultural and architectural-historical value as a characteristic example of a completely fitted 18th-century carriage house that forms part of the historic country estate Zuydwijk.

The carriage house is virtually intact with regard to principal form, use of materials and detailing, both as regards the exterior and interior.

The carriage house has ensemble value because of the spatial and functional relationship with the other complex components of the country estate. There is also stylistic harmony with the facing steward's house.
