Description

Description component 13: SERVICE DWELLING WITH COACH HOUSE belonging to the country estate Eerde.

To the west of the visual axis across the grand canal, on the Hammerweg stands a decoratively designed, former service dwelling from the first half of the 19th century. The white-rendered brick building on a rectangular ground plan consists of one storey and a high-pitched roof truss space under a low saddle roof with substantial overhanging eaves, decorative weathervanes and brackets, covered with plain pantiles. The facades are provided with a stone plinth. The section on the Hammerweg is originally the service dwelling; the section behind it consisted of a coach house and stable. These functions are still recognizable in the interior by the layout and finish.

The symmetrical front facade has a stone plinth, is three window-bays wide and is articulated by pilasters. In the proportionally wide central bay on the ground floor a double glazed door with star-shaped glazing bars in a simple frame. Above it a multi-light sash window (3x3) in a simple frame with stone sill. Left and right on the ground floor identical double glazed doors without framing. Above these multi-light casement windows (2x2) in a simple frame with stone sill.

In the western side facade of the front section (the dwelling) two entrance doors preceded by a stone step and various glazed-bar windows with stone sills.

In the western side facade of the coach house section an entrance door. The end facade on the north side originally had a symmetrical layout, which consisted of two entrance doors with semicircular fanlight in an arched frame and a hay loft in the top, likewise with fanlight in an arched frame. Currently the right door is sealed up and the left opening has been widened and provided with a double carriage entrance door. In the eastern side facade at ground floor level four arched stable windows with glazing bars, moulded frames and stone sills in a substantial format. Further an entrance door with fanlight as the aforementioned stable windows. Below the overhanging roof truss still several (ventilation) windows. Approximately in the centre of the facade the overhang is interrupted by a modern roof dormer with strip window that is partly recessed into the gable wall. The dormer forms, as do the alterations to the rear facade, a disturbance to the otherwise well-preserved architecture. The layout and finish of the dwelling house are nearly intact. There are two alcove beds present, a hearth and original (panelled) doors and windows with the original hinges and fittings. The ceilings are lowered; the floors are provided with wooden sections. In the coach house are found remnants of old horse stables.
