Description

Description

The T-FARMHOUSE consists of a rectangular dwelling house and a long rear building in which the business section is housed. The front house has two storeys and an attic storey under a high hipped roof covered with muted Mulden tiles. On both roof ridge ends there is a brick chimney. The rear house is covered by a gabled roof with muted Dutch tiles. The facades are constructed in red brick laid in English bond and have a plastered plinth. White plasterwork has been applied to the facades, among other things in the form of stringing courses. The facades are finished with a continuous, moulded white cornice, which is interrupted on the front facade by a projecting stepped gable. This stepped gable is covered by a lean-to gabled roof. All windows and doors in the front house have grey, hardstone drip moulds and are finished at the top by a stretcher arch with plastered springing and quoin stones. The symmetrically arranged FRONT FACADE has five window bays. The three central bays are drawn up past the cornice to a stepped gable. On the first storey there are on either side of the front door two 15-pane sash windows (3(3+2), whereby in some windows the original glazing bars have been replaced by plastic bars. The windows are provided with panel shutters with small recessed heart motifs. The front door has a broad fanlight provided with a wrought-iron tree of life. The upper part of the black-painted double panelled door is provided with large panes with wrought-iron curling lattice work. The middle panel is decorated with a diamond frieze and the lower panel has the form of a diamond head. Between the first and second storeys six wrought-iron wall anchors have been installed with the initials of the builder and his wife: `H(endrik)/ J(an)/ B(oeijink)/ J(ohanna)/G(erdina)/H(esselink)'. Above this runs a natural stone cornice, which is intersected by the drip moulds of the windows of the second storey. Above the front door is a door placed lower than the flanking windows, which has been renewed. The flanking windows are all 15-pane sash windows without shutters. In the stepped gable are two narrow 12-pane windows. The stepped gable is bordered by plastered basketwork. The RIGHT SIDE FACADE of the front house comprises three window bays. On the far right there are windows one above the other from the cellar and upper room. To the left of this an attached door provides access to the kitchen. The door is framed by pilasters on hardstone bases and is provided with a six-pane fanlight. To the left of this is a 15-pane sash window as described on the front facade. On the second storey there are three 15-pane sash windows as on the front facade. The LEFT SIDE FACADE of the front house has 15-pane sash windows as on the front facade on the first and second storeys. In the eight-bay side facade of the rear house on the far right is an attached door with a small square observation window and a three-part fanlight. To the left of this are three attached stable doors under segmental arches provided with plastered arch stones. Between the doors are arched, half stable windows. Three of these stable windows have a curved iron glazing bar division, a fourth window is probably later and has 8 panes. The REAR FACADE has double doors set deep back in the facade. The basket arch is provided with plastered arch stones. On either side of this access to the barn floor are small side windows with iron glazing bars under round arches with plastered arch stones. The slightly recessed, attached stable doors have segmental arches with plastered arch stones. The gable top is boarded with wooden planks. At the transition from facade and boarding a quarter-round moulding is laid in brick. In the gable top are a loading hatch and a lifting beam. The BARN attached to the right side facade is of the hall-house type and consists of a shallow front house and a rear house with stalls. The barn has one storey and an attic storey and is finished with a gabled roof covered with muted Dutch tiles. The facades have a plastered plinth and are constructed in multicoloured field-fired brick in English bond. The front and rear facades are provided with a green-painted gable-top boarding and white-painted weather-boards. The FRONT FACADE is asymmetrically arranged and has on the ground floor in the first, second and fourth bays many-pane sash windows (2(3+2)), provided with attached shutters. The attached door placed in the third bay has a two-pane fanlight. All wall openings in the front facade are provided with stretcher arches with plastered arch stones. Between the stretcher arches of the windows on the ground floor are wrought-iron wall anchors which together form the date 1887. In front of the hayloft are three square four-pane windows. The RIGHT SIDE FACADE has in the front house a window with 6-pane casement windows. The rear house has a 9-pane window, an arched attached stable door and three arched, half stable windows with curved iron glazing bars. The REAR FACADE has attached double doors under a basket arch with plastered arch stones. On either side of this are small side windows with iron glazing bars under a round arch with plastered arch stones. The stalls have slightly recessed attached stable doors under segmental arches with plastered arch stones, the right stable door is slightly lower and narrower than the left one.

The layout of the INTERIOR is virtually completely intact and consists in the dwelling house of a kitchen-living room, cellar with upper room and rooms-en-suite. On the storey there are on the right several bedrooms and on the left a large attic space. The interior still possesses many valuable interior elements such as in the kitchen-living room a tiled fireplace with iron fireplace plate with studs and the initials of the builder and his wife with the date 1852. Furthermore, the kitchen possesses a particularly tiled floor with meander motif and stylised leaf forms. The rooms still have the original wall panelling, some beam ceilings and fireplaces with a plastered capital surround on the breast. The interior of the rear house consists of a central longitudinal section with open stalls for cows on either side. The adjoining barn consists of a front house and a rear house with, among other things, a cattle stall and a small barn floor. In the front house is, among other things, a brick fireplace, probably dating from the nineteen-twenties. The rear houses of the T-farmhouse and the adjoining house are connected by a door.

Appreciation

T-FARMHOUSE (complex component A) with front house from around 1900.

-Of architectural historical value as a good and intact example of a lord-of-the-manor's farmhouse which stands out because of the block-shaped constructed front house with plasterwork decoration and the intricately designed interior. The business section is well preserved.

-Of urban planning value as the main component of the farmhouse complex which, because of its appearance, plays an important image-forming role in the rural area near Ratum.

-Of cultural historical value because of the function of the complex in the agricultural, economic and social history, in particular as a representative expression of the lord-of-the-manor culture which for centuries in the area around Winterswijk has left its stamp on the landscape and society. The expanded front houses with stately interiors testify to their wealth and desire for status.
