a rarity… national monument ‘malepartus’
a unique villa built in the english country house style, designed in 1929 by architect m.j. klijnstra. the villa boasts an impressive net floor area of nearly 750 m². this exceptional residence is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden with spacious sun terraces, set on a magnificent plot of 3,500 m² of private land.
description
the detached villa, positioned parallel to the road, is built in the english country house style with a complex floor plan and predominantly two stories under a slate-covered hipped roof. the roof features dormers of various sizes, also with hipped roofs. in 1958, a stunning multi-level living/work wing was added to part of the rear façade, executed in the same style.
the façades are constructed of red brick. the windows feature steel frames with divided panes, natural stone mullions, sills, and lintels. this volume connects the garage with the main living area, which has a broader floor plan. the main entrance is located at the corner where the living area connects to the rest of the villa. the living section is two stories high, while the rear façade is largely single-story under a tall roof, with a two-story setback on the left, later extended with a spacious conservatory.
interior
the ground floor retains valuable original features, including period tile and parquet floors, and a masonry fireplace in the sitting room of particular significance. the villa also contains a so-called venetian-style room from the original construction period, incorporating several architectural elements likely dating back to the seventeenth century. this room features a beam ceiling, stained-glass windows, and a wooden window sill.
heritage value
villa malepartus is of national importance due to its architectural and historical value as an intact example of an english country house villa with fine detailing and diverse material use. it also holds significant ensemble value as part of the built environment along soestdijkseweg. the house is highly suitable for combining living and working from home, or for dual occupancy.
