To the right of the hall a door opens to a generous farmhouse kitchen /dining room (40m2) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and another Charentaise fireplace with wood-burning stove. To one end there is a fitted kitchen (with plenty of units and worktop) and there is also a door to the garden. The remaining space leaves plenty of room for a large dining table.
