Closed farmhouse

Important, closed farm, already designated as such on the Ferraris map (1771-1777). Of this old core, only the residential house remains. From 1852 to 1855, the farm was thoroughly modified: the residential house received its current layout, the current stables and the gatehouse were built, and the barn retained only the positioning from the old core. Brick buildings under gabled roofs (Flemish tiles only on the residential house), grouped around a rectangular yard, accessible via the gatehouse on the northwestern side, with a double entrance gate; brick basket arch gates with hard stone imposts and keystone. This gatehouse was built in two phases: the left gate is dated on the facade stone 1854, the right I:M:B/ 1855; on the yard side, the construction joint is clearly distinguishable. The residential house with adjoining stable, on the western side of the yard, retained its volume from the second half of the 18th century, with a fairly steep, curved gable roof, side walls with gables and wall weaving, and a quarter-round, marlstone cornice. The neoclassical layout on the yard side dates from the mid-19th century: rectangular windows, previously barred, with hard stone lintels and drip stones, and a rectangular door in a hard stone frame with rebates and a profiled drip edge (originally woodwork with transom). Furthermore, a small wooden frame with burglar bars and two more recent windows. The original stable door was preserved: arched in a rectangular limestone frame with keystone. The rear facade retained the original door, arched in a rectangular limestone frame with keystone and now removed intermediate lintel (circa 1760-1770). Furthermore, a small wooden shutter and a number of more recent windows. The former stable, on the eastern side of the yard, also dating from the mid-19th century, was thoroughly renovated, and the facade is hidden behind corrugated sheets. Cross barn at the back of the yard. Spacious building, equipped with a brick basket arch gate, with hard stone keystone and imposts. The keystone bears the inscription: 16/1852. A number of more recent openings in the wall, including reuse of older materials.
