The town house and its annex stand opposite each other on either side of a garden hidden from the street by a high stone wall. The town house, with three main storeys of living space, has two parts, the second set back from the first. The facade is adorned with an isosceles trapezoid shaped front section which the entrance is set into. The garden level houses the reception rooms - two lounges and the dining room - as well as the kitchen, which has windows throughout and which overlooks the lawn and trees, and its vast pantry.
The 1st floor has a large bedroom and a suite (bedroom, study/living room, bathroom and separate toilet) on either side of a landing lit by a stained-glass window. There is a suite on the second floor like the one on the first floor, but on the other side of the landing, which opens onto the terrace above the forepart of the building. A duplex apartment has been created: a study/living room and, above it (third floor), a bedroom with a shower room and toilet. The rest of the floor above is taken up by an attic. The roof is currently being repaired. There is a spectacular vaulted cellar under the building.
In addition to the 300 m2 of living space in the town house, there is a 220 m2 annex house, in the shape of a farmhouse, with small-paned windows. It has two apartments inside: one with a large living room, another room, a shower room and toilet on the garden level and three bedrooms and a dressing room on the first floor; the other with a living room and kitchen on the garden level, two bedrooms (one with a shower room and toilet) and a dressing room on the first floor.
There is town gas central heating in both houses.

The town house

It is on the right, facing south in the courtyard garden. On the limestone cut stone facade, the four floors are marked by moulded bands, as are the window frames and sills and the cornice at the top. A three-sided forebuilding with smooth bosses and fluted bracketed openings resembles a stair tower. It closes off the entrance hall on the ground floor and conceals a small lounge on the first floor. On the second floor, a railed terrace overlooks Niort.
To the right of the main body of the building, a recessed section which is one storey lower, contains the bathrooms.

The ground floor
The entrance hall, where there is a fairly wide staircase (toilet with washbasin and a wine cellar underneath), is built of stone with a wooden banister, and has a mosaic floor, whose design can be found in the town hall. On either side there is a west-facing lounge with a ceiling rose and oak parquet flooring, and another opposite, separated from the dining room by a single partition. It is also accessible from the garden via the kitchen, which is in the forepart of the narrow part of the house. Here, the emphasis is on light and transparency, with an industrial-style glass wall. The pantry runs the full length of the kitchen, away from the garden.
The first floor
On the landing, there is a stained glass window, whose twin can be seen in the Rochefort sub-prefecture, and which closes off the small sitting room bounded by the forepart of the building. To the right there is a large bedroom with oak flooring and two windows overlooking the street and a third overlooking the garden. There is a fireplace and a wall of cupboards with delicately moulded doors. To the left, there is a first suite with an antique floor with wide poplar studded strips. It begins with a bedroom (with the same ornamentation as the first) which overlooks the garden to the south. This is followed by a study/living room with a fireplace topped by a fluted overmantel facing east onto the garden, a bathroom with a particularly well insulated exterior wall and a large window overlooking the garden, and a separate toilet (window).
The second floor
Opposite the staircase on the landing there is the terrace at the top of the forepart of the building where you immediately feel immense peace as you look over a whole sector of Niort. The suite on the left has the same layout as the one on the floor below and the same antique parquet flooring. There are two rooms with fireplaces, both with light from the south and one with light from the east, a bathroom with hanging rails and a toilet, and two windows overlooking the garden. The irregularly shaped stone basin really attracts your attention. On the other side of the landing, a duplex apartment has been built. There is a large study/living room overlooking the street to the west and the garden to the south (interior shutters) on this floor, and an interior staircase leading to a bedroom with three (smaller) windows under the roof frame. There is a shower room with a toilet.
Fourth level
The remainder of the floor is taken up by an attic where two utility rooms have been created. The floor is fully insulated.
