Nine-foot high ceilings give a sense of space and French doors from the dining room to the patio help extend dining possibilities.

The rear of the building is taken up in traditional style by a kitchen/breakfastroom divided by a dining counter-top. The floor is tiled, the fittings are in maple, the ceiling wood panelled. A study overlooks the garden.
