Description

Parallel to a long-gable farmhouse constructed of yellow IJssel brick from the second half of the 19th century stands, at right angles to the road, a Flemish barn with three oak tie-beam frames, which are laid on at one side and projecting at the other. On the intermediate beam new triangular roof trusses with sprocket beam. Lateral section. At the location of the double doors on the street side the thatched hipped roof has been raised. The opposite rear gable is of brick. In the rendered and tarred walls are found ventilation openings with wooden shutters.

Valuation

The Flemish barn beside a former long-gable farmhouse from the second half of the 19th century is of general importance. It has cultural-historical value as part of the scattered village settlement of Den Hout and as a representative of the regionally typical type of Flemish barn belonging to a long-gable farmhouse. The barn has architectural-historical value on account of the traditional use of materials and harmonious proportions. On account of the distinctive construction method and the materials employed, the barn is of importance for building history. The barn is character-defining in the street scene and has ensemble value in combination with the surrounding farmhouses, barns and stands of timber.
