Beautiful flat all one one level. Excellent for mum who uses a frame and wheelchair. Space for parking, next to entrance. Little lip over door entrance and then all flat. So good mum could use her frame to access property. Beds very comfortable. Wet room ideal.

beautifully presented house is perfect, wet room, accessible garden and kitchen give everyone independence. From stepping through the door, afternoon tea waiting in lovely Cornish ware; lovely chair covers feature wallpaper and the first glimpse of the side garden, robin hopping into view with perfect timing. The lounge area jewel coloured seating Read moreis great, but the patio doors onto the sun trap seating - gorgeous! Bedrooms are beautifully fitted. Attention to detail, great venue 10 out of 10 Hide
