Description

Component 26A

Introduction

Farmyard complex Den Enk, belonging to the country estate Nijenhuis.

19th-century farmyard complex located to the east of the main building of the country estate, consisting of a farmhouse and a cart shed. From the main building there is a sight line to the front facade of the farmhouse. The small stable and bakehouse located on the courtyard have undergone extensive modernization or been rebuilt. The small stable and bakehouse are not of sufficient value from the perspective of heritage care and therefore do not fall under the heritage protection act, but they do support the image of the farmyard ensemble. The large modern stable located on the courtyard is also excluded from protection.

Description

The FARMHOUSE is of the hall-house type with central longitudinal section and consists of one storey and a roof-space storey under a gabled roof with half-hipped ends. The central aisle and the half-hipped ends are covered with thatch. The side aisles are covered with Dutch tiles, dark-glazed and red and all shades in between. Two brick chimneys on the roof. The brick facades are laid in running bond. The front facade is four bays wide and asymmetrically arranged. The wooden entrance door with three-part fanlight under a lintel, placed off-centre in the left section, is flanked by multi-part windows (one on the left, two on the right), also under a lintel and with stone lintels, the top strip of which with 3 panes is designed as a drop sash. The windows are fitted with panel shutters with hourglass motif. In the heightened gable top a strip of three adjoining multi-part windows. Above it a small roof window. At the height of the floor beam level wall anchors. In the side facades the original business section is recognizable at the rear by three-part stable windows with stone lintels and simple wooden stable doors. At the height of the residential section various multi-part windows with stone lintels in different sizes and an entrance door. The rear facade is symmetrically arranged and in the centre provided with a double wooden clamped split door under a segmental arch. On either side of the door high-placed tall round-arch stable windows with iron glazing bars. In the side aisles a small wooden clamped stable door under a segmental arch. At the height of the floor beam level wall anchors. The business section of the farmhouse is provided with a plinth all around.

Valuation

The FARMHOUSE as part of farmyard complex Den Enk, belonging to the country estate Nijenhuis, is of general interest:

- because of its age;

- because of its ornamental value;

- because of the functional and visual-spatial relationship with the other components of the country estate.
