Description

Description component 1: Frisian STILT FARMHOUSE with attached BARN.

Farmhouse from 1911 with attached barn to the design of Gebr. J. and J.W. Booijenga in Metslawier and later built MILKING PARLOUR. The whole built in brownish-red machine-made brick (cut and full-bed lime mortar joint) with ornamental masonry in red and yellow brick, bands in (painted) artificial stone and covered by a high hipped roof covered with tiles and thatch with (renewed) owl board with carved decorative knob and weathervane on the rear. On the front slope blue-glazed Frisian tiles; on a small part of the side slopes and below the thatched roof blue-glazed Dutch tiles; stack chimney with board; profiled soffit fascia on the front; the remaining gutters simply executed.

RESIDENTIAL SECTION EXTERIOR. The front facade symmetrically arranged: centrally equally rusticated mid-projection with nicely worked captain's cabin with wings, ornamental spandrel and pirons; ground floor double wooden doors (which do not function as an entrance door and never have) with glass and cast iron door grilles; granite doorstep; on either side two H-windows under round arches; cut lead slabs. In the right side facade H-window, foundation stone with inscription: First stone laid by Anna and Maaike D. Hiddema 18 June 1911, door (originally double) with granite doorstep; two H-windows under round arches; drum fields with colourful ornamental masonry; in the crown at the height of the equally rusticated kitchen the inscription ANNO UILSMAHORN 19 + 11. In the left side facade two H-windows. All windows with granite sills.

RESIDENTIAL SECTION INTERIOR. In the interior there are among others of importance: the hallway with stuccoed profiled passage and the original (now concealed) ceiling with stencilled paintings on asbestos; the two living rooms and the undercellared upper room between them, the suite doors and the panel doors. On the attic (with jufferruimte dormer) there are still some (arched) panel doors from the old farmhouse, a small room with alcove bed, the hiding place and a wooden drying rack.

BUSINESS SECTION EXTERIOR. The right side facade (door and window not original) is furnished with a series of slightly arched stable windows; at the end attached later flat-roofed MILKING PARLOUR with door, window detailing matching the business section and gutter on brackets. In the partly restored rear facade among others one small and two large stable windows; all slightly arched and with iron glazing bars; large double barn doors. In the left side facade generous stable windows in matching style, likewise with iron profiling; stable doors. The facades enlivened by ornamental masonry in yellow brick.

BUSINESS SECTION INTERIOR. Here are among others of importance: the still recognizable main layout and the very heavy tie-beam truss largely reused in 1911 with drawn carpenters' marks and posts on footstones of demolition brick.

BARN (lytshûs). The attached barn (of which the original layout is no longer present) is, like the farmhouse, built in brownish-red brick and covered by a hipped roof laid with blue Dutch tiles with renewed owl boards with decorative knob on the front and rear. In the front facade two generous stable windows; in the left side facade two stable doors; in the rear facade two sets of double stable doors and one large and one small stable window; the windows slightly arched and with iron profiling. The facades enlivened by ornamental masonry in yellow brick.

Valuation

The Frisian STILT FARMHOUSE from 1911 with attached BARN (lytshûs) and later built MILKING PARLOUR is of general cultural-historical, architectural-historical and urban planning significance:

- on account of the age and the construction and use history;

- on account of the characteristic use of materials;

- on account of the plain but careful design and ornamentation;

- on account of the recognizability and the reasonable degree of integrity of exterior and interior;

- on account of the presence of a virtually intact ground plan of the residential section;

- on account of the presence of valuable interior components;

- on account of the presence of a hiding place from the period 1940-1945;

- as recognizable link in the development of Frisian farmhouse construction;

- on account of the monumental appearance in relation to the characteristic location on the dike between Holwerd and Ternaard;

- on account of the natural integration with the surrounding grand landscape.
