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.
Bedroom 1: Double bed
Bedroom 2: Double bed
Bedroom 3: Single which converts to a double or two singles
Bedroom 4/office: Single sofa bed
Bedroom 5/office: Single sofa bed
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 a friendly cat called Colin, who goes outside for toilet duties! He just needs feeding. If you need to go away for a few days, we can probably arrange for someone else to feed him, or we have a 4-day automatic cat feeder.
We have a nice grand piano, and several other musical instruments. The TV has various channels/apps via Roku and Freeview, Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video. We also have a robot vacuum cleaner, and an Alexa for music or any questions you may want to ask her!
Ampthill is a small, friendly town and our street is lovely. We have off-road parking for 3 cars.

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.
