Background information House:
This house was originally built in 1920, in fact on the foundations of a building that had been there since the 18th century.
From 1920 the building has been thoroughly renovated twice, the Heistraat 75 model shows the house in its early days.
The location of the real property is also special. It is located next to the stream "the Dussen" and a stone's throw from Dussen Castle. Although the property is now on the edge of the village, originally it was in a central location, near the crossroads of village ribbons.
Architectural details House:
The house is constructed from so-called "dirty-masonry" which was subsequently plastered. The thick white layer of plaster is provided with recessed lines during the application, which are described best as imitation joints. As a result, the house seems to be built of large limestone blocks. This construction method was used to give houses a luxurious look for a limited amount of money.
Furthermore, the property has a French hood. These may be positioned perpendicular on the road, but in this case, the French hood is placed with the longitudinal direction along the road.
The sun room has large windows and a flat roof. Outdoor walls were desirable in a few places. These are plastered and have a gray plinth, but are not decorated with imitation joints.
Background information Garage:
Built in the '90s of the last century, this garage is actually quite modern. The large garage door is a distinct characteristic of this. The wood siding and asymmetrical saddle roof give the garage a more traditional appearance.
The volume is in any case of size, because there is certainly plenty of room for two cars and a workshop with a functional storage attic.
Architectural details Garage:
The building is constructed from a masonry plinth surmounted by a cladding of horizontally placed brown wooden parts. The masonry plinth is a functional element, for woodwork to the ground often results in wood rot, as water can draw out of the ground and into the wood.
The roof is equipped with Dutch tiles, finished with an equally brown bargeboard at the ends.
