Description

Introduction

FARMHOUSE with blockish front section built circa 1895 (datestone), presumably replacing a hall-house farmhouse owned by the families Oosterman and Bessink-Pas, originally schulte farmers. The farmhouse is surrounded by meadows and lies parallel to the Misterweg, an important through-road from Winterswijk to Aalten, along which, besides smaller farm yards, several monumental farmhouses have been built.

Schulte farmers had great influence on the Winterswijk landscape, especially in Woold and Ratum, but also in the hamlet of Miste. From 1850 onwards, these schulte farmers distinguished themselves through farmhouses with large front sections, furnished with detailing borrowed from urban architecture. According to the residents, the farmhouse described here was built with capital the family won in a lottery and executed with Neo-Classical elements. The likewise protected PIG HOUSE that was built to the right of the farmhouse was, according to building archive data, internally rebuilt in 1921 so that a residential section was created at the front. The farmhouse is largely intact in both interior and exterior, although a recent lean-to has been placed on the side gable of the outbuilding and a recent barn is located at the rear of the yard. The yard is provided with recent paving. The barn (`schoppe') located at the rear of the yard falls outside the protection.

Description

Partially cellared FARMHOUSE with a blockish front section and a rear section with central lengthwise aisle and stalls. To the left side gable a lower outbuilding (PIG HOUSE) has been built, consisting of a rear section with former pig stalls and a front section for staff housing. The blockish front section is two storeys and an attic storey high and constructed in red brick in running bond on a composite ground plan. The roof covering consists of two hipped roofs placed at right angles to each other and covered with pantiles. In the ridge of the front hipped roof there are two brick chimneys, in the right slope a third. Water drainage takes place via a corniced gutter. On the right side of the rear section there is still a cast-iron roof gutter. The front section gables have a rendered plinth, rendered corner pilasters, a broad rendered string course between storeys and a broad frieze under the gutter. On the right side of the rear section there are five sandstone wall anchors.

The symmetrically arranged FRONT FACADE has four bays with in the first storey four T-sash windows with clamped shutters. The windows are closed at the top by a rendered segmental arch with keystone and are provided at the bottom with a sandstone sill and a rendered panel with ears. In the roof slope there is beneath a reduced hipped roof a dormer window, with a stepped window framed by pilasters bearing a tympanum. The front facade of the outbuilding has in the first storey in the central bay a clamped door with two-pane fanlight. To the right of this is a cellar window with theft bars below the sash window (2(1+1)) with clamped shutters of the upper room. To the left of the door is a coupled T-sash window provided with shutters. In the top gable a loading hatch with two-pane fanlight. All gable openings except the cellar window are provided at the top with a brick segmental arch with rendered keystone. The gable is finished with white-painted weathervanes and a tie-beam. The RIGHT SIDE GABLE has in the recessed right gable section in the first storey at the far right a cellar window below an upper room window. To the left of this is a T-sash window. The second storey has two windows of the type used in the front facade, but more simply detailed. In the left gable section at the right halfway up the first storey a barred window is placed and to the left a T-sash window of the aforementioned type. The second storey is blank. The side gable of the left gable section has in the first storey a simple clamped door. Above this, for the stairwell, is a T-sash window, detailed as in the front facade, placed halfway up the storey and intersecting the string course. The RIGHT SIDE GABLE of the outbuilding is vertically articulated with a number of brick pilasters. In the second bay a arched gable opening has been closed, next to it is a four-pane stable window and a closed door opening. The four bays LEFT SIDE GABLE has in the first storey in the second bay from the right a segmental arch-shaped entrance portico in which are a stepped door and a single-pane fanlight. The door is in essence original, but on the outside is covered with sheets. In the first and second storey there are further windows as described in the front facade. The side gable of the rear section consists successively of a T-sash window, between brick pilasters a clamped stable door under segmental arch with rendered springing and keystone and directly next to it a cast-iron dropping window. In this side gable there are five cast-iron rose wall anchors. In the gable section of the rear section protruding outside the gable of the front section there is a clamped door with two-pane fanlight. The REAR GABLE consists of two stable gables provided with boarded top gables where the right one is broader than the left. On the left weathervanes have been replaced with pantiles. On the transition to the top gable boarding a quarter-round has been laid. On the right are far-recessed part doors under basket arch with rendered springing and keystones with standing oval-shaped side windows. To the left and right are stable doors under basket arches with rendered arch stones under round stable windows. On the left are stable doors under a basket arch as on the right. On either side of these doors is a round stable window (tumble). In the top gable boarding a loading hatch has been placed. The layout of the INTERIOR is still largely intact. The front section is divided across in two by a hall on the ground floor which runs into the stairwell. On one side are rooms-en-suite, on the other side are a traditional farmhouse kitchen, a recent kitchen and an upper room and cellar. The rear section has a wash-room, a section with stalls and a wooden stair to the hay loft. The outbuilding consists of a front section with a smoke hood and an upper room for staff housing. Behind this front section are pig pens. The interior possesses numerous original elements such as black marble chimney mantels, alcoves with rendered pilaster framing, continuous cassette panelling, window sills and stucco ceilings, as well as a window recess with bench seat. Also a traditional tiled wooden chimney breast, wooden doors and a bacon cabinet. In the former cattle stalls the corbels are supported by carved consoles, which are presumably reused.

Valuation

FARMHOUSE with blockish front section built circa 1895

-Of architectural-historical value as a fine and good example of a schulte farmhouse that was rebuilt circa the turn of the century with an imposing front section. This represents a characteristic development in farmhouses of wealthy farmers in the Achterhoek region. This farmhouse stands out by virtue of high-quality aesthetic qualities which are expressed among other things in the detailing of the gables with Neo-Classical elements and the interior elements present, where alongside the usual traditional farmhouse kitchen with tiled chimney breast and wooden doors there are also rooms-en-suite furnished with more urban refinement, with wooden chimney mantels, window sills and stucco ceilings with floral motifs.

-Of urban-planning value as part of the historically grown building development on the Misterweg, where through its striking main form and detailing it plays an important furnishing role in the landscape.

-Of cultural-historical value within the agricultural and social history of the Netherlands, by virtue of the building's designation as a schulte farmhouse. In the building various elements refer to that historical designation, such as the polygonal window through which one could view the cattle from the living quarters. Furthermore, the building is an expression of the dwelling and working culture of a wealthy farming family around the turn of the century, where alongside more traditional spaces also urbanely furnished rooms are present.
