'Windrush House and its Accessibility' |
Windrush House was built in 1910 and retains its original structure and features. It is a fine example of an Edwardian Detached house and was built on two levels. Although it is not practical to make major changes to the house access, we intend to make it as accessible as we can, in order that as many people as possible can enjoy a stay at Windrush House. |
MOBILITY ACCESS
Access to the House
- We have a large car park at the front of the house and this is fully tarmaced.
- Guests can be dropped off within one metre of the front door and car parking is within 3 metres of the front door.
- To enter the front door there are two steps - the first to enter the porch and the second to get into the house (they are 9 and 17 cm in height respectively)
- At night the entrance to the car park is illuminated and an 'automatic' light illuminates the car park. The porch is also illuminated at night.
Access to the Patio and Garden
- Access is via the Guest Lounge and the 'double doors' and this involves a step which is 10cm high.
- The patio surface is flat and has both paving slabs and gravel.
- Access to the garden involves climbing 6 steps (each being 17cm high).
Access within the House
- Once inside the house there are no steps on the ground floor.
- The entrance hall, guest lounge and breakfast room has natural wooden floorboards - all other rooms and the hall/staircase have fitted carpets.
- All guest bedrooms are accessed via the main stairs.
- The stairs are wide and straight with 18 steps (each being 17cm high)
- In one bedroom there are 2 steps within the ensuite (each being 17 cm high) all other bedrooms have no steps.
