Accessibility
We have one room on the ground floor which is suitable for people with restricted mobility but due to it's size is probably not ideal for those who are totally wheelchair-bound. There are two steps from the ground floor level to the dining room.

There is a courtyard in front of the house providing adequate parking for all residents. In summer we have table tennis under cover of an open barn. The garden is approximately half an acre of grass, shrubs and flowers with several seating areas, including a sun terrace overlooking the valley and open farmland.
