There is a living room with separate dining room, and the large fully-equipped kitchen is ideal if you prefer to eat-in. Free WiFi is available throughout the main living areas.Equipment can be safely stored in the mud-room, accessible by the back door.Please note: This is an OLD house and as such has its creaks and quirks. The floors are not all level, the walls are crooked in places and there will be random noises but nothing to worry about.There is no air conditioning but two high velocity portable fans are available.Be aware that if you stay during the week, you may be disturbed by the freight train that passes through Gorham around midnight and blasts its horn.It’s a short walk to Subway, Big Day Brewing and local cafés, as well as Gorham Common and Grand Trunk station (railway museum).
