We find that light sleepers may prefer the twin room to the attic as the church clock chimes can be heard at the rear of the house.

A lovely house in a good location for access to local amenities and for exploring the area.A spacious, very well equipped kitchen perfect for cooking meals. The house is large and was perfect for our family of five. The basement provided a games area, an extra toilet and good laundry facilities.There is a good size family bathroom and an attractive en suite to the attic bedroom.The only outside space is a bench and a bistro table with two chairs outside the front door, so probably not ideal for families who like a garden for the children to play in.The only negative was the church bells which chime every quarter hour all through the day and night so not ideal for light sleepers.
