Need some help

I started this game a few months ago and then life got busy and I quit. Now I have no idea what I was doing. Looks like the part of the map that I can read says I need to get into the "old house" somehow to ring the next bell? All I see around it are a bunch of enemies but beating those doesn't do anything. At this point I'll take anything up to outright spoilers just so I have somewhere to start again.
