Description

Introduction

FARMHOUSE WITH TRANSVERSELY POSITIONED FRONT HOUSE, WAGON SHED and GATE in eclectic style, built in 1881 for farmer Bruinsma, a great advocate of factory-scale dairy production on cooperative grounds. The farmhouse does indeed possess milk cellars with traces of provisions for milk processing, but reportedly the builder made scarcely any use of them. No longer in use as a farm enterprise. Forms together with the ten years younger, but related and likewise in eclectic style built farmhouse Brédyk 32 a handsomely situated pair of buildings.

Description

EXTERIOR: Farmhouse with transversely positioned front house. Large timber-framed shed with owl boards, covered with dampened corrugated Frisian tiles and furnished with large shed doors and arched closed iron nine-pane windows in dark brown brick masonry. Medium-sized neck of the same building material, in which the wall openings have been partly renewed. For the kitchen on the south side a large window has been broken through. Front house of one storey on entirely natural stone faced high milk cellars. The facing is decoratively worked, in particular with nine-part sections above the lying, arched closed windows with grilles and shutters. The residential storey possesses on the corners plastered pilasters with recessed fields. Entrance section accentuated by octagonal columns on either side of the internally stuccoed and framed and with plasterwork cornice furnished portico with flight of six steps. Double carved door with iron grilles and fanlight. In front of the front gable the columns on either side of the built-out cabin taper slightly after which a finial with vases follows. For the central section a balcony with decorative cast-iron railings; framed and corbelled, arched closed casement doors and termination with cornice. The wings are likewise terminated with cornices with fields of foliage ornament and rosettes. Apart from the framework brickwork of dark brown brick. Arched closed, profiled framed T-windows with exuberant plasterwork corbels. Hipped roof with corner chimneys furnished with boards with finials, covering of blue-glazed corrugated Frisian tiles. The WAGON SHED on rectangular plan of one storey with a gabled roof between spout gables is built of greyish-brown brick and possesses corrugated Frisian tiles and double shed doors on the east side. In front of the drive stands a cast-iron GATE with four heavy pilasters, crowned by pinecones and horsehead finials and furnished with one elegant side wing. North of the shed stands a wagon house from the building period of the farmhouse or slightly younger in reasonably original condition.

INTERIOR: Internally both shed and front house are no longer in original condition. The shed has, without affecting the original roof truss structure, been divided into compartments for the showroom and storage function which it now has. Floors and gutters are still present, especially in the stall for small livestock. Milk cellars under barrel-vaults and with floors of yellow and green glazed estrick tiles and plates of pink sandstone. Central passage with fine stuccowork of handsome double mouldings and central ornament, entrance hall, framed panel doors with false nails and cupboard and stair door in original condition. The southern parlour is opened through to the deeper, entirely remodelled kitchen. Through this the bed alcove wall has been lost, but the china cupboard with internally fluted columns and imitation paintwork and a set of double panel doors have been relocated. Framed windows with window sills on fluted base columns and window shutters. Ceiling clad with softboard panels. The other front parlour is still entirely in original condition, including the wood-imitation paintwork as light oak linden wood. Wooden beam ceiling entirely in heavily crazed wood imitation. Simply framed bed alcove wall with china cupboard, furnished with panel doors. Against the northern side wall a marble fireplace in neo-Renaissance style with simple framing and furnished with a landscape fireplace painting. Also here framed windows with window sills resting on base columns and window shutters.

VALUATION

The farmhouse with neck and transversely positioned front house, wagon shed and gate is of general historical, architectural-historical and landscape importance

- because of the structure somewhat modified by alterations but still everywhere recognisable of a large farmhouse on the eve of the rise of factory-scale dairy production;

- because of the nearly intact exterior, in particular the intact and richly ornamented eclectic front house and the important interiors, especially of milk cellars, central passage and northern parlour;

- because of the special landscape location on De Werp on the old Middelzeedijk in conjunction with the style-related farmhouse Brédyk 32.
