Access Statement
Access to the property from outside is as follows:
- There are no steps from the drive to the patio door. At the patio door there are two steps at 7-inch riser height with a 12-inch tread. There is then a 5-inch step into the dining room. There is a handrail at the side of these steps and a grab handle attached to the doorframe.
- If you wish to enter the property at the kitchen door access point, again there are no steps from the drive to the open porch leading on to the kitchen door. There is one 7- inch step leading up to the hard standing floor of the porch and then one 5- inch step into the kitchen.
Once inside everything is at one level. All doors are the standard 2 foot 6 inch opening width.
Bathroom and Shower Facilities
The bath is fitted with side handles and a bath seat is available for guest’s use. The front bedroom en suite shower is fitted with a grab handle.
Other Facilities
There is a radio suitable for a partially sighted person’s use and a hot drinks sensor in the in the kitchen. This piece of equipment enables blind people to make hot drinks without scalding themselves. Also there is a “ Talking Clock” available should guests wish to use it. In the reception rooms there are three high-seated wooden armchairs of the Windsor type and ample cushions are provided. We have come to realise that these chairs are very suitable for people who find it difficult to get up out of the normal type of easy armchair!
