Description

Introduction

DOUBLE VILLA with associated BOUNDARY WALL, in picturesque eclectic style from 1894, designed by architect J. de Groot, situated in villa park 'De Boomberg'. The villa is set back slightly in a large garden, separated from the street by an iron fence.

Description

Symmetrically arranged villa of two storeys on a rectangular ground plan under a gabled roof with pantiles of which the ridge line is parallel to the street. The gently sloping catslide roof above the projecting central section stands perpendicular to the gabled roof. The white plastered facades are provided with ashlar-like joints, 'pseudo-half-timbering', profiled drip mouldings and string courses. Predominantly right-angled sash windows and double glass doors with venetian blinds under arched stretches with keystones. The symmetrical front facade (N) has six window bays, the middle two in a high rising central projection under catslide roof. On the ground floor two entrance sections flanked by pilasters with capitals with original panelled doors, provided with elegant boot scrapers. Above the entrances two balconies with cast iron railings onto which double glass doors open. In the gable top two herringbone arch-shaped roof windows. The side facades (E and W) have an almost identical arrangement with in the middle a large wooden rectangular conservatory and above it a balcony with balustrade with cast iron railwork. In the facade double glass doors to the conservatory and balcony, flanked by narrow arched blind windows. In the gable top an arched small window with central mullion. The symmetrical rear facade (S) has four window bays, the middle two in a projection. In the middle against the projection a low extension under a gabled roof with pantiles and in the side facades two doors and arched cast iron windows with X-shaped glazing bars.

In the outer window bays on the ground floor double glass doors.

The left house (number 63) still has an almost original interior with among others the ground plan layout, tile floors, panelled doors and fireplaces from the construction period.

The boundary wall consists of a simple wrought iron framework with a revolving gate between cast iron columns.

Valuation

The late nineteenth-century double villa with associated boundary wall is of general importance because of its architectural and cultural-historical value as a representative and nearly intact example of a villa in picturesque eclectic style. The villa is of considerable urban planning importance because of its ensemble value as a characteristic and defining component of the well-preserved villa park 'De Boomberg'.
