Description

Introduction

Former FARMHOUSE of the corner gable type, dating from the 17th century and restored in 1844 and around 1948 following war damage. The building is constructed in traditional artisanal building practice and stands with a long side facing the street. The farmhouse is no longer in use and is boarded up. On the property a tame chestnut tree.

Description

The single-storey farmhouse of the hall-house type with transverse section on a nearly rectangular floor plan is constructed from purple-brown hand-formed brick, partly in crossbond with timber-framing. Repairs in calcium-silicate brick and machine-made brick in Waal format. The composite gabled roof with half-hipped ends is covered, as far as the residential section is concerned, with double-improved red Dutch roof tiles, while the business section has corrugated asbestos cement sheets. The corner rafters have ridge crooks. The typical corner gable was created by the construction of a room with its own fireplace in front of the right half of the front facade, probably in 1844. This extension shares one roof plane with the rest of the building, at a lower ridge height. On the division between the residential and business sections a brick chimney on the ridge. The front facade under the half-hipped end has boarded-up windows on either side of the front door from c. 1948 with fanlight in an old frame. The masonry around it was renewed c. 1948 in machine-made brick. The remaining masonry consists of purple-brown hand-formed brick in random bond with timber-framing and cut joint. To the left of the front door a limestone facade stone with the text "JOS. L. BOLSIUS 1844 17/4", apparently dating from a major renovation. Rod anchors. At attic level a small square boarded-up window. Two rod anchors, one of which is curved. The side facade of the extension, which forms the characteristic corner gable, is constructed above a narrow plastered plinth from reddish-brown hand-formed brick (21.5 x 10.5 x 5/5.5 cm) in good crossbond. This facade has a small boarded-up window with roll mouldings above and below. Thumbs to the right in the frame. At attic level a small square boarded-up window, also boarded up. In the corner of the two facades an arched, plastered and sky-blue painted image on a simple limestone console with blunt angle, finished with a fine chisel mark. The front facade of the extension is from the same regular masonry above a plinth. To the right under the roof slope timber-framing. In the middle of the facade a large boarded-up window with a roll moulding above and below a brick window sill. On the attic floor a small boarded-up window. Rod anchors. The left side facade runs parallel to and at short distance from the Oude Baan. Approximately halfway there are set-back high double half-doors. The masonry consists of reclaimed hand-formed brick, machine-made brick from c. 1948 and calcium-silicate brick. Various forms of renewed residential and stable windows, including arched iron frames. Rod anchors. The right side facade was renewed around 1948 in machine brick in half-brick bond. The residential section has a large boarded-up window and a basement window filled with an ornamental concrete tile. The business section has, besides a small extension, two windows, two doors and a double stable door. The nearly entirely intact short rear facade is built in purple-red brick in random bond with headers and three stone corbels and with timber-framing under the roof. Half-hipped end. To the left and right two small mutilated arched windows. Two rod anchors.

Internally the original layout has been largely preserved. Five oak anchor beam trusses with braces form the skeleton of the building. On the anchor beam stand trapezium-shaped round timber roof trusses on which the purlins rest in the business section, but above the residential section doubled with roof struts placed diagonally inward. Fire wall of brick from Ijssel stone. Against the fire wall in the residential kitchen a large hearth with richly profiled mantel beam. In the extension a bedroom with two built-in beds. In the business section a cow shed and a potato cellar.

Valuation

The former corner gable farmhouse is of general importance. The building has cultural-historical value as a distinctive expression of the development of a farmhouse type characteristic of the region, of which this building is the northernmost example. The building has architectural-historical value due to the well-preserved main structure both inside and outside and the traditional use of materials, as well as due to components of the interior. Due to its location directly on the street it is character-defining for the streetscape.
