Farmhouse 'Boschrijk'
A farmstead built in 1875 for a grain merchant from De Rijp. Noteworthy is the South Holland barn, i.e. the cows were not facing the outer wall but towards the middle where the feeding alley was.
The cowshed originally housed two rows of cows. A striking feature is the decorative carvings, which were a sign of prosperity at the time of construction. The farmstead consists of a villa-style front building, partly with a basement, with a simple cowshed at the rear. The front building is built on a rectangular ground plan and comprises two storeys under a composite roof with gentle pitches and generous overhangs. The roof consists of a hipped roof with a gable roof set at right angles to it at the front and on both sides, giving the front section a central gable on those sides. The wind braces of the overhanging gable roofs and the eaves mouldings are richly carved. The wind braces converge at carved corbels. The roof has a square chimney in red brick at both ridge points and is covered with black interlocking tiles.
The masonry is whitewashed and features decorative joints. The windows have rounded and decorated frames.
