Comfortable, detached house in calm, friendly cul-de-sac in a historic, picturesque English town.
Pleasant home in a quiet location, a few minutes' walk from the lovely town of Ampthill and pleasant country walks.
We have a modern kitchen, confortable furniture and nice neighbours. Four bedrooms upstairs and a newly renovated bathroom with P-shaped bath and shower. Two bedrooms with double beds, and two with single beds.
Downstairs is a good sized lounge with two sofas and an armchair. This leads into a light dining room with pine furniture. The kitchen has a dishwasher, and large fridge-freezer a gas hob with electric oven/grill. We also have a downstairs office (with single sofa-bed for a fifth bedroom) and a downstairs wetroom (shower/toilet).
We have three well presented gardens at the front, side and rear of the house and off-road parking for up to three cars.
We have two cats, Barry and Colin, who are both calm and friendly. They go outside on their own and are no trouble at all; they just need feeding.
We have a nice grand piano, and several other musical instruments. The TV has various channels/apps via Roku and Freeview, and we have Alexa for music or any questions you may want to ask her!

FR070292Rob et Lois ont été des partenaires d'échange très agréables et amicaux. Ils se sont même occupés d'emmener notre voiture au garage lorsque celle-ci est tombée en panne. Leur maison est très agréable dans un quartier calme d'une petite ville très jolie et accueillante. Londres est facilement joignable en train et il y a beaucoup de lieux intéressants à visiter aux alentours. Un super séjour pour nous.

GB981135The family were very friendly and engaged in advance of the exchange. They provided a lot of information about things to do, and kept in touch with news during their stay. Their home was ideal for the places we wanted to visit, like the national computing museum and bletchley park. London was an easy reach by train too.
