Description

Description

PARSONAGE with INTERMEDIATE SECTION (B), possesses a square ground plan extended with a narrow rectangle at one of the corners. The facades of the two-storey parsonage, like those of the church, are built in brick (Norwegian bond) and bear corresponding, previously mentioned detailing. The gabled roof is covered with shingles.

In the central axis of the FRONT FACADE is an internal porch which is closed off by a double sandstone lintel between which two brick pillars are set that divide the light opening into thirds. The fine panelled door is surrounded by fanlight and side lights divided into thirds (type milk maiden) with leaded glass panes. The door frame rests on sandstone sills and likewise threshold. The side lights are set between a course and rest on window sill tiles as is the case for all windows. On the upper storey is a sash window beneath a 4x2-pane fanlight. The gable ends with a window with four coupled three-pane windows of which only the outermost is executed as a casement. Below the ridge of the gable a triangular window repeats the shape of the gable termination. Along the sloping sides of the roof is a climbing frieze that finds connection below the triangular window. To the left of the central axis is a three-band window per storey, of which the side windows are casements. The 2x2- and 4x2-pane fanlights are only executed in leaded glass on the ground floor, as is otherwise the case for the entire building. The right bay of the front facade contains the five-sided oriel of which only the three sides facing the front are glazed. Only side windows are sliding and have 3x2-pane fanlights; the centre window contains 4x2-pane fanlights. A balcony with brick parapet adjoins the oriel, on which are balcony doors beneath a four-pane fanlight with two-pane side lights on either side provided with a horizontal glazing bar.

The LEFT SIDE FACADE has three window axes with identical sash windows provided with 4x2-pane fanlights which will hereafter be the standard type. Only on the ground floor is a sash window absent in this otherwise balanced facade arrangement.

The REAR FACADE differs from the preceding and discussed facades, which were characterized by balanced arrangements, due to the presence of a conservatory, a two-storey extension and various window types. The left side of the rear facade contains an extension on a rectangular ground plan. The flat roof is provided with a back gutter with carved brackets. The front has three sash windows of which two on the ground floor (in which, differing from the standard, leaded glass filling in the fanlights is absent) and the third above the left one on the upper storey. On the left side the intermediate section adjoins the church but is otherwise executed blind up to the built-out chimney flue. The right side contains two unequal small light slits at the top. The central axis enclosed between extension and conservatory has a multi-pane door on the left and a toilet window on the right. On the upper storey two light slits with casement window occupy the space. The conservatory on the right possesses double glazed doors in the middle beneath three-pane fanlights; above the large side windows are 4x2-pane fanlights. The conservatory is three window axes deep. Above the flat roof (where the parapet is absent) an identical window appears as in the front facade above the oriel. The gable is likewise identical to the front facade.

On the RIGHT SIDE FACADE the intermediate section adjoins, which from the left is preceded by two sash windows. On the upper storey there are three sash windows. Adjacent to the intermediate section are double doors with three-pane fanlights.

The INTERMEDIATE SECTION has three (modern) windows on the street side with original 4x2-pane leaded glass fanlights. Only on this side is there a brick parapet present. In the corner with the parsonage is a door beneath a three-pane fanlight. The garden side of the intermediate section still has two original sash windows on the right. Towards the tower follow a 2x3-pane glazed panelled door and a sash window with 3x2-pane fanlight. At the far left in the corner of intermediate section and church is a flat-roofed extension with per side a door a 3x2-pane fanlight.

The INTERIOR is notable for its well-preserved spatial arrangement and retained valuable components. From the hall, which is separated by vestibule doors with leaded glass panes from the corridor provided with stucco ceilings and tiled wainscoting, the tiled floor continues on the ground floor throughout the entire house, intermediate section, into the church. In the kitchen is a radiator with plate warmer; all panelled doors in the house have been preserved. In the adjoining room are sliding doors with leaded glass panes, as well as ornamented stucco ceilings. The safe for the church treasures is likewise still present. The main staircase in the corridor of the stairwell illuminated by leaded glass contains twisted treads and a fine newel post. The parsonage contains three cellars (storage, coal and wine cellar).
