Description

Description of component 1:

MAIN BUILDING, COUNTRY HOUSE HET HARTELAAR.

In 1626 a mid-length-through farmhouse was built on the site, consisting of a three-aisled front section, a sturdy three-aisled barn with very wide central aisle. Above a door of the house to the business section the year 1626 is carved. In the front section a composite beam layer over the original middle section. In the stable high collar-beam trusses, this in connection with threshing. The masonry of the stable was renewed in 1799 (year in keystone above partition door). In 1853 a major alteration took place. On the south side of the farmhouse a country house was built. For this the right bay of the farmhouse was incorporated into the new house. The farmhouse itself was rebuilt: from the middle section a passage was separated and on the left side an undercellared upper room was created. The old staircase and a cellar were incorporated into the new house. The threshing floor was moved outside: in the paving behind the farmhouse the location of the horse mill was found. The farmhouse is built of brick and stands on a rectangular plan under a high half-hipped roof with red tiles on the residential section (west); the gable of the residential section steps back several metres in relation to the west gable of the country house. The front gable has an entrance door with a 6-light window to the left and a 9-light window to the right; both with shutters. The stable section has a roof with reed and ridge boards, except the underside, which is covered with red tiles. On the rear side a double partition door with basket arch in the rear gable. Year stone in the keystone 1799. On either side a manure door and a door for the horse. The whitewashed country house from 1853 stands on a rectangular plan and has three storeys (ground floor, first floor and attic). Hipped roof with grey tiles. On the front (south) the house is three bays wide. The original 6-light Empire windows with blinds, both on the floor above and on the ground floor; the ground floor windows extend to the ground and function as garden doors (French windows). First-floor windows with low cast-iron balcony railings; above the middle bay a roof dormer under a small saddle roof. In the northern roof slope two tall chimneys. The west gable is two bays wide and contains the entrance door with fanlight. On the floor above it a narrow window. On the east gable a projecting rectangular plastered extension, the right section from 1977. On the ground floor of the country house a narrow passage running from west to east provides access to three rooms. The two western rooms have a stucco ceiling and are en suite with each other. In the most western room stands a chimney breast. The eastern room is reduced by the curve of the steep winding staircase and is provided with a simple beam layer. Adjacent to this the projecting section in which the kitchen and cellar are located. Cellar with barrel vault from the 17th century. On the floor grey screed.
