It has a tarmac drive leading to an accessible entrance. The property is all on one level and is wheel chair accessible throughout. The entrance matting is flush with the floor tiles and incorporates 'firm' bristles so as not to impede wheelchair traffic.

The larger cupboard has the room for re-charging a wheelchair or mobility scooter or room to store equipment like mobile hoists. The heating controls are also in this cupboard.
There is under floor heating throughout and a mechanical heat recovery ventilation system installed to bring fresh air in whilst maintaining a constant temperature.
