Description

Description of component 1: Long-gable farmhouse.

Introduction

LONG-GABLE FARMHOUSE under thatched gabled roof with half-hipped roof end, in Craft-traditional building style, probably dating from the second half of the 19th century but possibly from before 1800. On the street, where several similar farmhouses are located in linear development, two linden trees with a trunk circumference up to approximately 2.80 m.

Description

The single-storey farmhouse, with its ridge parallel to the street, is built of yellow IJssel brick in English bond. The thatched gabled roof is half-hipped at the business part. The spout gable on the residential side ends in a brick chimney and has wattle-work under the eaves. This gable has at the far left a cellar window with cross-glazed window, above which the upper room with a 20-pane sash window, later altered to a hinged window. On the attic storey there are symmetrically two 12-pane casement windows. Above and below the windows are brick courses. In this gable eight wall anchors, of which the lowest two are bent. The long front facade on the street side has a historicizing front door with fanlight between two large 20-pane sash windows, all provided with stretchers. The windows have new tiles as window sill. Next to the business part a small hinged window. All frames, windows and door of front and side facade have been renewed according to the old model. Shutters have not (yet) been fitted. The frames are ochre yellow, the windows white and the door standard green painted. On the ridge of the roof at the transition between residential and business part a second brick chimney.

The roof of the business part, which projects slightly forward, is set at a lower level. Besides a solid clamped door on the left, on the right next to it are four three-part stable windows in concrete. Two wall anchors. Building traces indicate the location of an original, now closed transverse section. The short side gable with half-hipped roof end has wattle-work and six symmetrically arranged wall anchors. In the middle above a large clamped hay door with old hinges. On the ground floor three later stable windows, of which two three-part ones in concrete. On the corner at the street side a chamfered stone. The long rear facade at the location of the residential part has a new kitchen window, wall anchors. The barn section is extended slightly; in the middle are the double doors of the transverse section. On both sides solid stable doors, two three-part concrete windows; rear facade partly renewed in machine-made brick.

Between the business part of the house and the Flemish barn standing transversely behind it is a new steel spindle fence in historicizing forms.

Internally the original layout has been preserved. The front door gives access to the living kitchen in the right part of the residential house. Here a beam ceiling with broad sections, a fireplace with painted moulded fireplace beam, rear wall with tortoiseshell tiles and plain tiles in checkerboard pattern, centre panel with tortoiseshell tiles on point, some of which renewed. An old frame with panelled door gives access to the "good room" in the left part of the house. Here a stucco ceiling in Empire style with moulded edges and square-framed rosettes at the corners. Centre rosette is missing. Bed alcove and cabinet wall in Empire style with panelled doors, moulded cornices, above the central cabinet supported by arched consoles with carved fan motif, painted in liver and beige tones. Central below the cornice of the central cabinet a carved figurative representation of two fabulous creatures turning towards each other: winged putti ending in ornamental curled fish tails. Extended fireplace with stuccoed corner pilasters and architrave above wooden fireplace mantel, grey marbled on black plinth. The U-shaped wooden top rests on two volute consoles with carved fan motif. Between these a lying diamond carved in relief (four quarters). Sides of the stove area within half-round stuccoed. Floor with smoked tiles. In the left rear corner of the residential part, behind an old clamped door with forged hinges, is a cellar, staircase with 4 stone steps and wooden beam ceiling. Brick brining tub and 2 arched spaces for potato storage. Cellar window with cross-glazing in side facade. Above the cellar an upper room with beam ceiling. Against the rear facade lies the renewed kitchen. From the upper room a staircase to the attic, where two principal rafters with straight rafter legs and struts of oak and pine. Hewn carpenters' marks. On the tie beam rafters with collar tie. The purlins have no wind braces. Ridge purlin. The business part with transverse section, the partition doors of which are closed at the front facade, retains its original layout. The hay loft on heavy oak beams and the roof structure rest on two oak tie beam frames with struts.

Valuation

The long-gable farmhouse, probably from the second half of the 19th century, is of general importance. The building has cultural-historical value as an example of a region-specific farmhouse type. It has architectural-historical value because of the main structure and ornamental components of the interior preserved intact both externally and internally, the harmonious proportions and craft-applied traditional building materials. The farmhouse, in combination with the associated Flemish barn and small barn, has ensemble value and also as part of the historical-spatial context of the hamlet Steenoven. The farmhouse is character-defining in the streetscape.
