Farm Sint-Jorishof

Farm supposedly named "Sint-Jorishof". Presumably the oldest farmstead of the parish that formed the original seat of the lordship of Sint-Joris. Estate access consisting of two recent brick estate pillars. Farm consisting of loose components grouped around a newly laid courtyard with a lawn. Farm already recorded on the Ferraris map of 1770-1778 as a detached dwelling, large agricultural building, and bakehouse. On the pre-cadastral map of 1810, the same volumes are depicted but in a slightly altered configuration. In 1829 (primitive cadastral plan), the dwelling has already been enlarged. According to the cadastre, it was partially rebuilt in 1862, although retaining the older core as seen in the interior and construction traces. Dwelling situated to the north of the courtyard. Double house of six bays and a chamber bay under a tiled gable roof. Side gable with wall knots and traces of an older lower volume. Anchored brick construction with white-painted facade in combination with a rendered plinth. Rectangular window openings and segmental-arched door opening. Cellar opening in chamber bay equipped with wrought iron thief bars. Interior. Preserved tie and child beams and natural stone consoles. Impressive fireplace with plastered chimney breast and profiled oak beam. The wall for heating originally in blue reducing-fired bricks (according to current residents). Associated detached stable, located to the south of the courtyard. Dated "1807" (rendering on brick). Thoroughly renovated and enlarged in 1974. Red anchored brick construction under a tiled hipped roof.
