Description

Introduction

Small farmhouse from the 19th century, constructed in an artisanal-traditional building style. The building with adjoining barn stands on a small plot with a walnut tree and several fruit trees in the hamlet of Hoekske. The original front door is located on the side facing away from the street.

Description

FARMHOUSE, consisting of a dwelling house with adjoining barn. The modest single-storey dwelling house on a rectangular floor plan is constructed above a rendered plinth from orange-yellow IJssel brick in running bond. The gabled roof between spout gables, on the outside ending in a chimney, is covered with improved orange-red Dutch roof tiles.

The three-bay front facade, which faces the polder, has on either side of the front door with fanlight a window with six-light sash windows (glazing bars on the left simplified) and double fastened shutters. Rollbands above and below. Staple anchors.

The short spout gable on the left has at the far left an extension under a less steep lean-to roof. On the left and right a small window with six-light sash window and fastened shutter. At attic level on the left and right a small window without glazing bars. Staple anchors.

The long left gavel is obscured for the right half by a rendered extension with new door. On the left a barred cellar window, diagonally above it the upper-room window with two-light sash window and fastened shutter. The rendered plinth is missing here. At the far left a storage building built around 1950 in machine-made brick under a lean-to roof. Door in the end wall.

The windows and frames are painted white, the doors and shutters deep red.

Internally the original layout has remained largely unchanged. In the extension a kitchen, behind it a living room with a wooden partition wall with panel doors, pilasters and a corniced moulded cornice. Box bed converted to cupboard. Lowered wooden ceiling. Woodwork cream, doors painted light green. From the kitchen via three steps access to a small shallow cellar under a beam ceiling. Grouted floor tiles. Above this the upper room. On the attic floor two simple oak roof trusses with collar tie and crown post. Roof lining newly boarded.

Against a short gable end of the dwelling house stands on a base of dark-brown hand-moulded brick a larger tarred and ridged barn under a gabled roof with grouted and red Dutch tiles. Slightly to the right of centre the double sliding doors (inside with mirror clamp and cross bracing), providing access to a central nave. The left door is divisible. The facade to the left of the doors of hand-moulded brick with small barred window. In front of it an extension under corrugated-metal lean-to roof with tarred and ridged walls and a white-painted four-light window. At the far right the adjoining storage building under a less steep lean-to roof.

The long left gable has three divisible and fastened doors with a small pane in the upper part. Partly old forged hinges.

Internally three carefully constructed oak roof trusses with mortise-and-tenon joints, short hacked carpenters' marks and ornamentally worked posts. The tarred and ridged end gable has within it a half-timber construction of posts and rails. The side walls have posts with a collar tie as wall plate. The three-aisle space is spanned by a collar tie that is mortised into the outer posts and laid on the two central posts. The collar tie is braced to the posts only in the outer aisles, thus creating a free central nave. The posts along the threshing floor are decorated with geometric ornaments in low relief and filled in with colour (green and white). On the collar tie an A-truss with collar tie and crown post. The left aisle is enclosed with an old wooden wall for a cow stall. Hay loft, partly on runners.

Valuation

The small FARMHOUSE, consisting of a dwelling house with adjoining barn, is of general importance. The building has cultural-historical value as a distinctive expression of a socio-economic development, as an example of a small farmhouse in a West-Brabant polder. The building has architectural-historical value due to the well-preserved main structure, both inside and out, and the traditional use of materials as well as due to components of the interior. The building has rarity value due to the ornamented posts of the roof truss construction in the barn. It has ensemble value as part of the historical-spatial development of the dike hamlet of Hoekske and it is character-defining in the streetscape.
