Description

Description

component A The COUNTRY HOUSE has an irregular ground plan with two building sections. The section on the south side has a basement, a piano nobile, an upper storey and the attic. This building section, viewed from the south side, is broad and shallow and at the south facade is provided with a stepped gable. The lower, northern part of the house is slightly broader and deeper and is provided with a basement, one storey and an attic storey. The various building sections are provided with composite roofs. The lower section has a composite flattened hipped roof. The higher, narrower section has a three-sided hipped roof. Behind the stepped gable is a gabled roof with its ridge at right angles to the east-west oriented ridge of this hipped roof. All roofs are covered with suppressed cross tiles, with a triangular ornamental motif of red cross tiles laid on the roof slopes of the higher section. The ridge of this roof is provided with a crest, partially disappearing on the small gabled roof, and with mortared chimneys on the ridge ends. Also on the north and south slope of the lower section there is an ornamental band in red cross tiles laid on the roof slope. The roofs are provided with cornices.

Between the lower and the higher building section, on the east side of the house, there is a recessed narrow building section in which the entrance section is housed. This building section is as high as the higher part of the house and has an inflected cupola on which a small bell tower is situated that is carried by eight columns and is provided with a tent roof with a tall iron spire. The facades of the house are built in English bond and provided with a high basement in cemented stone. The horizontal effect in the facades is emphasised by the horizontal grooves in the basement, by the ornamental bands executed alternately in stone and red facing brick on all facade sides, by the cordon line executed in red profiled stone and hardstone around the higher building section and by the architrave and roof lines executed in red profiled stone under the cornice. The most richly detailed facades are the south and east facades. All windows, except those in the north facade, are executed as sash windows and are flanked on the south and west facades by finely formed shutters. The frames are in many cases profiled.

The FRONT FACADE is the south facade of the house facing the road. This facade has on the left a projecting section with a stepped gable with four steps, stone coping plates and a top with a claw piece on each side and crowned with an applied piece with a broken aedicula motif. The top has on the front a round sealed wall opening with below it two paired 2-light sash windows with a hardstone surround. Above the lintel there is a relieving arch executed in red facing brick with hardstone voussoirs and springers. Below the window sill there is the name of the house carved into a stone slab. The stepped gable is flanked at the point of the lowest step by a diagonally mortared, vertical section on a stone console. The coping plates on each side are optically connected by ornamental bands executed in stone and red facing brick. The upper storey of the risalito contains two glazed door casements with fanlights and a mortared central post. Above the fanlights there are two roosting combs in red facing brick and an overarching profiled drip moulding. The small wooden balcony balustrade rests on the partially sloping roof of the wooden veranda to the width of the risalito. The veranda is situated on a stone plinth and is provided with windows in rods in the side walls and in part of the front and is accessible from the garden by means of a small staircase with iron balustrade and an iron revolving gate. The special windows are provided in the corners with round, etched and coloured glass infills. The wooden posts are decoratively worked. The facade of the risalito plastered in the veranda contains a T-shaped sash window and an inward-opening double door with fanlight. The slightly recessed facade section to the right of the risalito is symmetrically arranged and has at the piano nobile two 2-light sash windows with a worked and painted lintel at the top and a roosting comb executed in red facing brick with ornamental stones and a springer. Above these are two slightly lower sash windows with ornamental brickwork in red facing brick applied below the stone window sills and above the windows a segmental arch with ornamental stones, springers and ornamental brickwork applied in the arch field. At the point of these windows, ornamental brickwork is also applied in the frieze, which is bounded by the consoles that support the cornice. In the plinth there is a basement window. The LEFT SIDE FACADE (west facade) has on the higher building section two T-sash windows one above the other with a closing one-and-a-half brick course with corner stones. At the points of the upper and lower sills there are ornamental bands. In the plinth there is a basement window. The facade of the broader and lower building section has two T-sash windows side by side with above them in the roof slope two original dormer windows with casement windows and tent roofs. Here too there are basement windows in the basement. The REAR FACADE (north facade) has a forward projecting section with a narrow central risalito with in front of it, at the height of the basement and piano nobile, a built-out flat-roofed section. This extension contains the rear door and a pivot window and by means of a staircase with iron balustrade both the rear door and the lower positioned door of the basement can be reached from here. In the staircase a round iron window. To the left of the extension two basement windows with above them a pivot window with fanlight. Above the extension there is a railed window. The attic storey contains in the risalito a partially sealed window opening with above it a 2-light pivot window. On each side of it is a pivot window. To the left of the risalito yet another round iron window. All window openings are closed with one-and-a-half brick courses. At the points of the upper and lower sills ornamental bands are applied. The recessed section of the facade on the left is executed blind. Above the plinth there are the two aforementioned gauge stones. Both stones have a horizontal slot. On the small stone on the left in the facade is the text: '6 el. 62dm/(slot)/above AP'. The larger stone to the right of it mentions: '5 el 86 inches/(slot)/above Asperens level/according to gradient/of/28 February 1851'.

The RIGHT SIDE FACADE (east facade) is the actual entrance facade. The recessed section in the middle contains an entrance section, consisting of a panelled door with iron door grating, an arched and railed fanlight and a surround of facing brick and hardstone. The front door is accessible by means of a staircase with iron balustrade. Next to the door is a foundation stone with the text: 'laid by J.J.G. van Everdingen, 28 May 1898'. On the upper storey a 2-light sash window with the same detailing as the upper storey windows in the front facade. The higher building section contains on the piano nobile two paired 2-light sash windows in one frame with a worked central post and a closing lintel with above it a roosting comb in red facing brick. Above the cordon line is an identical but slightly lower frame with a closing segmental arch with ornamental brickwork in the arch field and two 2-light sash windows. The detailing below and above the windows is comparable to that in the front facade. The lower building section contains two 2-light sash windows side by side with a closing lintel and a roosting comb in red facing brick. In the roof slope an original dormer window with a casement window and a roof on decorated brackets.

The INTERIOR is well preserved and consists on the first storey of an entrance portal that opens onto a centrally located hall with staircase to the upper storey. Various living and service rooms such as the salon, the dining room and the garden room are attached to this hall. The kitchen was once relocated. In the old kitchen the baking oven, the chimney breast and the pump have been preserved. On the upper storey there are various bedrooms. Among the preserved interior components are the staircase with ornamented newel, virtually all original panelled doors, marble floor and skirting boards in the hall, the interior shutters of the windows, chimneypieces, stucco ceilings and tilework. The basement has the original floor and barrel vaults.

Valuation

COUNTRY HOUSE from 1898 (complex component A)

- Of architectural historical value as a well-preserved and good example of a country house from the end of the nineteenth century in neo-Renaissance style, which stands out for the well-preserved main form, the use of materials and the rich detailing. The building has striking and well-executed components, such as the stepped gable, the veranda, the frames and the roof.

- Of urban planning value as the main component of the complex which forms a characteristic part of the historically developed river region, where the complex forms the visual northern closure of the village of Deil and is prominently situated on a raised location on the Linge. The complex is visible from a great distance.

- Of cultural historical value as the main component of the complex, because of the old history of the building site. Furthermore, two gauge mark stones have been set in the rear facade with a certain rarity value because they indicate both Amsterdam Level and Asperens Level. The gauge mark stones are typical of the river region.
