Accessibility Rating

Silver: every feature at this level meets a good standard. Some features are not yet at the best standard or still need proof, so this listing is not Gold. How the rating works

About this home

A ground-floor apartment off a quiet courtyard. Level entry, 800 mm doors, a bathroom with rails and a fixed shower seat. The bedroom has blackout blinds and dimmable lights; appliances are chosen for low noise. The layout is simple with clearly labelled controls.
