Description

Introduction

VILLA in eclectic style from around 1890 with associated BOUNDARY FENCE in villa park 'De Boomberg', possibly designed by the building surveyor J. de Groot. The villa is set back somewhat in a garden with lawn and trees, on the street side closed off by an iron garden fence.

Description

The asymmetrical villa has one storey and an attic storey on a virtually square ground plan. The L-shaped main volume consists of two mutually perpendicular saddle roofs with Dutch tiles and in the corner a low (scullery) extension under lean-to roof. On the side facades are two large wooden conservatories. The slightly overhanging roofs are executed above the gables with wind vanes and brackets. The white plastered facades have a dark grey plinth and are detailed with bands in 'pseudo-timber-framing' and a string course. Mostly sash windows and glass doors with moulded fanlight and blinds under plastered segmental arches with keystone. The front facade (N) has four window bays of which the rightmost in a high rising corner risalit with gable. On the ground floor a window with cross window and on the first floor a double glass door with French balcony. In the centre of the facade the original panelled door with ornamental lock plates and to the left of that two windows. On the right side facade (W) two window bays and in front of the left one a large rectangular wooden conservatory with decorative glazing bars in the windows and a sliding door to the garden. On the right a double glass door and above the string course two moulded small blind windows.

In the risalit with gable on the left on the rear facade (S) one window bay with double glass doors, on the first floor to a wooden balcony. To the right against the left side facade (E) a conservatory with cut-off corners on masonry plinth and to the left in the (scullery) extension a door and two small windows. Internally the original ground plan layout and interior features such as marble mantels, stucco ceilings, and panelled doors have been preserved intact.

The boundary fence consists of a simple iron rail fence with cast iron fence posts on either side of the access gate.

Valuation

The late nineteenth-century villa with associated boundary fence is of general importance because of its architectural and cultural-historical value as a representative and largely intact example of a villa in picturesque eclectic style. The villa is of high degree of urban planning importance because of its ensemble value as a characteristic and visually striking component of the well-preserved villa park 'De Boomberg'.
