Description

Introduction

Detached FARMHOUSE with bakery building and Flemish barn, located on a spacious plot with a weeping willow and a birch tree, in an open polder landscape. The farmhouse with load-bearing stone walls, which dates from the second half of the 18th century and was extended in the second half of the 19th century, lies with the ridge parallel to the road. The building is constructed in a craftsmanlike-traditional style. Behind the house lies a small shed. Also behind the house, perpendicular to the road, lies a Flemish barn which, however, falls outside protection due to drastic modernization. Renovation, during which the original tile roof was among other things changed to a thatched roof, in 1995.

Description

The single-storey farmhouse on a rectangular floor plan has a mansard gabled roof. The front facade with the entrance is located on a short side. On the opposite side, a narrower extension under gabled roof between stepped gables with wattle infill was realized asymmetrically in the second half of the 19th century. Both roofs were originally covered with red Dutch tiles, but were replaced with thatch around 1995. There are no chimneys remaining on the roof. The walls are built above a grey rendered plinth from yellow IJssel stone, with those of the extension tending more towards orange. The front facade was renewed around 1950 in machine-made yellow stone of divergent format. The long side facade on the left with respect to the front facade is entirely rendered and, except for the grey plinth, painted white. The asymmetrically arranged front facade has a modern front door (1995) with a fanlight provided with a cross glazing bar. The low nine-pane window on the left and the much taller six-pane window on the right were originally sash windows, but were renewed around 1995 as casement windows while retaining the former glazing pattern. This also applies to the attic storey, which shows a narrow, tall nine-pane window on the left and a compressed nine-pane window on the right. The ground floor windows have renewed double clamped shutters. All windows and doors are painted white, the frames standard green and the shutters have within a standard green border mirrors with red-white hourglass motifs, which were applied around 1995 by the Betuwe residents in place of the original green border with white mirrors. Rod wall anchors. The right side facade has above a rendered, grey painted plinth two large six-pane sash windows with cement surround. Between them the roll-course of a blocked-up door opening is visible. Far right the nine-pane sash window of a bedroom, above a small cellar window. The cellar window has a green shutter, the windows double clamped shutters with hourglass motifs. The woodwork on this facade is still largely original. The left side facade, which is entirely rendered white, has three original nine-pane sash windows with old double shutters. Far behind there was formerly the now blocked-up door which gave access to the attic storey. The rear facade is partly hidden from view by a narrower extension, in which the kitchen is located. Centrally in the original rear facade is a closed window, of which the roll-course and construction traces are still visible. Above it at attic level there is still an original six-pane sash window. Quite at the bottom still the small cellar window without a pane of glass, but with a green shutter. The sloped roof surfaces have wattle infill, of which the right one is only visible on the attic of the extension.

The extension on a rectangular floor plan with a thatch-covered gabled roof since 1995 between spout gables with wattle infill is narrower than the dwelling house, but shares one side facade with it. The rendered left facade has only a solid, green painted door and a nine-pane sash window with double clamped shutters. The other long side facade as well as the rear facade remained unrendered and is built from IJssel stone. The facade shows a nine-pane sash window on the left and a six-pane sash window on the right, both with double clamped shutters. The rear facade has at attic level a window with a nine-pane casement window. The ground floor is blind. On the left from the centre a buttress-like outbuilding.

The original layout is largely preserved. A long hallway with lowered ceiling and colourful tiles from the nineteen-thirties runs from the front door to the kitchen in the rear section. On the right are two rooms joined together into a large living room. Behind it is the entrance to the cellar with a mortared herringbone vault. Above the cellar a bedroom with built-in bed. The small room directly to the left after the front door is used as a cloakroom next to the hallway. Further to the left a bedroom and quite at the back the new wooden staircase to the attic storey, which was previously only accessible from outside via a door at this location. In the front section there is no fireplace or hearth remaining. The extension is used entirely as a kitchen and scullery. Here is located, albeit modernized, the only old hearth of the house. On the attic some bedrooms have been created, whereby the old roof timbers, which rest on the floor, have remained visible. The three collar ties made from heart-of-oak and partly secured with stout wrought nails above the front section are clearly older (second half of the 18th century) than the two collar ties of sawn oak above the rear section (second half of the 19th century). The latter have two rafter-ties lying one above the other, of which the upper one is braced on the straight rafter legs.

The small shed located flat behind the house, which may have previously served as a bakery building, is built on a rectangular floor plan from IJssel stone. The gabled roof between stepped gables is covered with red Dutch tiles. In the top of the front gable there are three dovecotes. Below it a standard green painted shutter, far left the original door with old hinges. The left side facade has two lunette-shaped cast-iron stable windows with five panes each. The other facades are blind. Inside there is an undivided space without ceiling. In the middle there is a simple roof truss pair. Collar ties and wall plates are absent. The roof is boarded with broad sections.

Valuation

The farmhouse from the second half of the 18th to second half of the 19th century is of general importance. It is of cultural-historical significance as an example of the development of the detached farmhouse with load-bearing walls in the young polder land of West Brabant. It has architectural-historical value because of the relatively well-preserved architecture and the presence of a mortared herringbone vault in the cellar. It has ensemble value because of the high-quality nature of the building and the historic-spatial relationship with the open polder landscape, particularly because of its location in combination with the bakery building and the Flemish barn on a spacious plot behind a large weeping willow.
