Wheelchair-friendly
Our home is in a quiet cul de sac within walking distance of the shops and very near public transport. It has a lovely kitchen extension at the back which gets lots of light from March to September. This has access into our garden which is fully wheelchair accesible and is a sun trap in the summer. The kitchen /dining area is large and spacious and we have a cosy sitting room off this space. We have an ensuite bathroom off our bedroom which is fully wheelchair accessible.
