Access Statement

Boatmans Place is a semi-detached cottage over four floors.

Parking is available for two cars in each property, to the gable end of each, and comprises of a slightly sloping paved area accessed off Boatman s Place, a short lane ending in a cul-de-sac. Refuse bins and a log store are accessible beside the car parking area.

A paved path runs along the front of the property and there are 2 steps into the property, both 75mm deep. The front door has 70mm of clearance and opens into a small hall, carpeted, with a flush entrance mat.

A cupboard in the hall houses the gas central heating boiler and the electric service board and fuse box. The washing machine is also in this small room which has a low door.

There is a fully tiled wet room off the hall with a 700mm door. There is also a similar sized door leading into a bunk bedroom with two full size bunks.

Seven carpeted steps lead down to the carpeted lounge and tiled open plan kitchen and dining area.

A single door leads from the kitchen onto the paved patio and garden and there is a 75mm step out of the house into the garden. The garden is enclosed by a low fence.

Returning to the hall, 7 carpeted steps 33 inches wide lead up from the hall to a carpeted landing off which there are two bedrooms, one with a kingsize bed and ensuite with step and the other with two 3 foot single beds.

Seven carpeted steps lead from the carpeted landing up to the family bathroom which has a bath, loo and wash hand basin and a tiled floor.

Because of the layout of the house, with three half staircases, these properties are not suitable for guests who cannot use stairs. There is nothing I can physically do to make the houses more accessible.
