Description

Description component 20,

The farm complex Scholten lies to the north of the Velhorst at the end of the drive. The farm complex has belonged to the estate since ancient times. Scholten was originally known by the name Groot Velhorst, to distinguish it from Klein Velhorst, now farmstead Nieboer. The farmstead was most likely founded in the Middle Ages. On the cadastral map of 1825 farmstead Scholten is depicted as a substantial U-shaped building. On the property there were then still two outbuildings. The complex now consists of a mid-length shared farmstead with attached single-roomed building, a number of barns and a single-bay roof barn. Only the farmstead with attached single-roomed building (component 20), the mid-length shared barn to the south of the farmstead (component 21) and the single-bay roof barn (component 22) are eligible for protection.

The mid-length shared FARMSTEAD, constructed of various types of red brick, stands on a rectangular ground plan and is covered with a half-hipped roof, of which the upper part is thatched with reed and the lower part, at the sides, with red tiles. Simple wind braces along the roof edge. Owl-board at the front. Mortared chimney on the ridge. The roof above the residential section was raised in the first quarter of the 20th century. The attached single-roomed building lies under a gabled roof with damped tiles. The front facade of the farmstead stands on a cemented plinth, is five bays wide and asymmetrically arranged. Various types of red brick have been used here, the oldest of which may date from the 18th century. The front door with fanlight is placed left of centre. To its left a cellar light with grilles, above which a roed window with under-shutter. To the right of the front door two large and one small roed window with under-shutters.

The right side facade on a cemented plinth has roed windows with under-shutters in the residential section, manure doors in the business section, two of which are arched and one straight.

To the left of the junction with the single-roomed building an access. In the business section manure doors under segment arches and lying concrete stable windows.
