The dining room has a large table with seating for 14 people and through two double-glazed doors it allows direct access to the terrace or the inner courtyard.

The kitchen is fully equipped and has Mareuil stone worktops and a central island with storage underneath. At the back of the kitchen there is a large refrigerator equipped with freezer drawers. Under the porch is the laundry room with washer-dryer and ironing set. Next to the kitchen, the large living room offers a perfect environment to relax on the sofa in front of the 19th century fireplace.
