Description

Introduction

Originally a sixteenth-century FARMHOUSE with a crook house and detached WAGON SHED. The front house is oriented straight onto the Vliet, while the stable section shows the historical diagonal plot division direction. Now converted for three dwellings. On the right of the yard a detached small shed.

Description

Farmhouse consisting of front house and crook house under gabled roofs, and stable attached at an angle to the front house, now under a gabled roof, of which the half-hipped end has been lost through a shortening of the stable. The residential section comprises one storey with a roof space and attic. The roofs of the residential section are covered with smothered Old Dutch tiles and the left roof slope with red cross tiles; the stable section likewise with red cross tiles.

The front facade on the left is a shoulder gable with spout, furnished with corner pilaster and four shoulder pieces covered with natural stone. The facade is provided with rusticated plaster, a brick profiled drip moulding above the ground floor and various wall anchors, some worked out as ornamental anchors. On the ground floor a central door with two-part fanlight and bell pull, flanked by two T-windows placed in old frames with thumbs for interior shutters; at the right window wind scrolls; on the roof space two twelve-pane sash windows with small glazing bars and fixed centre mullion, thumbs for interior shutters on the frame, inscribed in plaster work "ANNO - 1906" between the windows; at attic level a hatch. To the right adjoining the shoulder gable the facade section of the crook house with two sash windows with three-part upper sash belonging to an upper chamber; lower sash without glazing bars. Below on the left a cellar window in a semicircular niche.

The left side facade (number 35) likewise with rusticated plaster and from left to right two sash windows with leaded upper panes, thumbs for exterior shutters on the frames and a door with leaded fanlights. This is already located under the eaves of the stable section.

The right side facade (number 37) is a heavily altered spout gable with brick patterns and only on the left a shoulder; on the right the facade continues lower. Only on the right is the brick facade plastered and furnished with a wooden outbuilding (clog shed) under a sloping roof. Various traces of bricked-up openings at the level of the upper chamber and attic.

The stable has been shortened; this is evidenced by truncated wall sections on the right and left of the rear facade. The current rear facade of the stable is provided with (interior) plasterwork at the bottom, rendered above (modern alteration). The right facade of the stable is furnished with a window, a frame with iron glazing bars, a double clamped stable door, a frame with iron bars and again a double stable door. A hay door on the roof slope.

The interior is intact and contains many authentic elements. The relatively shallow front house has a beam layer with main beam and secondary beams and brackets, perpendicular to the front facade; a raised wooden floor. A seventeenth-century passage to the back room. Against the rear wall of the back room a mantelpiece of Belgian marble, possibly around 1750. The eighteenth-century manganese tiles with amongst other bird motifs and tortoiseshell tiles are presumed to have been installed in the nineteenth century. Against the chimney breast a landscape painting on paper. A boarded-over beam layer with brackets parallel to the front facade. A cupboard wall at the inner wall against the front room. Under the roof at the front a boarded-over bedroom. Otherwise unboarded roof. In total five roof truss bays with pine roof trusches consisting of collar-beam couples with triangular braces, provided with hacked carpenters' marks. The beam layer with main beam and secondary beams of the upper chamber likewise lies perpendicular to the street facade and is furnished with brackets with pear-shaped moulding (presumed second half sixteenth century). Below it the cellar with two cross vaults, stone steps, red tiles, red-painted skirting, two candle niches and pump basin. Behind the upper chamber a scullery/entrance with old tiles (newly laid). Unboarded roof with breastwork on the street side, two oak roof trusses with drawn marks and thin timbers. Two doors with respectively fluted and panel work to the attic of the front house. Stable section with five roof truss bays, collar-beam couples with overhang, thereon roof-beam couples, provided with hacked carpenters' marks.

The small wagon shed on the right of the yard is constructed of calciferous sandstone with red brick header courses and alternating roll courses above the openings. It has one storey and an attic under a gabled roof covered with Old Dutch tiles, spout gables with roll courses and shoulders.

Valuation

The farmhouse with its associated interior and wagon shed is of general interest:

- by reason of its cultural and architectural historical value as a farmhouse along the Vliet with a double plot division direction, a bend in the ground plan and a rich historical layering;

- by reason of the high age of the farmhouse;

- by reason of the intactness of the interior of the farmhouse;

- by reason of the ensemble value between farmhouse and wagon shed;

- by reason of the situational value of the complex, located on the Vliet.
