Description

Introduction

LONG-FACADE FARMHOUSE with transverse section, built in a traditional artisanal manner and dating from 1750. The property is situated on a modest plot with two large lime trees, with the ridge parallel to the road outside the built-up area of Someren. The property is in use as a residential farmhouse with barn.

Description

Long-facade farmhouse under a thatched half-hipped roof with end shield at the farm building section. Stripes of damped Dutch tiles. At the height of the division between residential and farm sections a brick chimney on the ridge provided with thatch eaves. The farmhouse is built above a rendered plinth from purple-brown Waal format hand-moulded brick in cross bond. The short right end gable has wattlework, a brick frieze, setting stones and bears the date 1750 in whitewashed brick. Below the half-hipped end a drip moulding and an oak beam with ventilation strip. On the ground floor two windows with 6-pane sash windows and double shutters. At the far right a higher-placed upper room window with four-pane sash window. Below this a cellar window. At attic level are symmetrically two small windows with opening casement and shutter. The long front facade is finished under the eaves with a mouse-tooth course. The front door with cross bars and glass in the upper part has been renewed. Fanlight with non-original cast-iron tree of life. To the right of this two windows with 6-pane sash windows provided with double shutters. To the left at the height of the former stable are four large arched windows with cross bars. To the left of these large double divided doors. The front facade projects furthest to the left under a low overhanging lean-to roof. The otherwise blank, short gable on the left starts very low and is entirely thatched. The casements are ochre yellow, the windows white and the doors and shutters painted standard green. Internally, among other things the old red floor tiles in the kitchen have been retained, the cellar with upper room, old internal walls, three old doors with corresponding hardware, while the wooden historic load-bearing structure was largely preserved and some of its components were reused secondarily.

Valuation

The long-facade farmhouse from 1750 is of general importance. The house has cultural-historical value as a particular expression of a socio-economic development, as an example of a long-facade farmhouse in East Brabant. The property has architectural-historical value because of the relatively well-preserved main structure both internally and externally and the traditional use of materials, as well as because of components of the interior. The property is character-defining for the street scene and contributes, on the basis of its appearance, use of materials and detailing, to a certain extent to the historical and rural character of this part of North Brabant.
