Description

Farmhouse, now known as Hoeve Van der Meulen, in the past the 'reddened hoeve' after the reddish lime with which the walls were coated. Dwelling from the 18th century, built in small yellow brick on a base of Flemish bond. Various sash windows, a cross window and a cellar light with shutters and anti-theft bars. The end gable is a spout gable with weaving and a roof gable finial. Gabled roof with muted old Dutch tiles. In the extension of the dwelling and attached to it, is a brick barn under gabled roof with red old Dutch tiles. The barn is a reconstruction from 2009 following the example of a predecessor from 1935/36. This in turn was a replacement of a wooden barn that had been rebuilt on this spot in 1918. The dwelling has retained internally its original layout. There is a vaulted cellar with flagstones, an upper chamber, a churn room with flagstones, a living room and a parlour. There are various wooden bed cupboards, including the one beside the hearth in the living room, which extends into the barn. The fireplace arrangement in the living room is provided with tiles from various periods including 18th century landscape tiles with playing children and 19th century pilaster tiles with animals and vases. The floor and roof truss structure of the dwelling is extra heavy as a result of the original function as grain loft. On the loft in the panes of the sash window among others a 19th century inscription about a stranded whale.
