FRENCH COUNTRY RETREAT IN
LOWER NORMANDY, LA MANCHE
FRANCE
Welcome to our wheelchair accessible holiday home in the Marche, Normandy. The property is situated in Lower Normandy within easy reach of Caen, Cherbourg and Dieppe.
The property is likely to be the only purposely designed wheelchair accessible holiday home in Normandy.
The accommodation on the ground floor has been designed to comply with the British Building Regulations Part M relating to people with disabilities.The entrance door has been widened to provide wheelchair access. The threshold, while raised is provided with rubber inserts to make it accessible.
The ground floor accommodation consists of a bedroom and en-suite specifically for wheelchair users who are able to transfer without assistance, or with help from a single person/carer. The kitchen, dining and living room are all part of one space for easy accessibility using a wheelchair. The kitchen is designed to be either used by a wheelchair user or someone who has poor standing ability, requiring a perching stool. The sink and cooker are inset into a worktop which can be moved up or downwards depending on your disability requirements. All the cupboards have pull out baskets for easy access using a wheelchair or a perching stool. The cooker is at eye level and ideal for wheelchair users.
The first floor has 2 bedrooms, a single and a double alongside a family bathroom which would be suitable for family accommodation or a single carer.
The property is located in the heart of the Normandy countryside known as the 'Bocage' due to its enclosed fields. It is situated close to the hamlet of Notre Dame Du Touchet and the larger principal town of Mortain, a must for those interested in WWII, and walking. Our countryside retreat lies deep in the maize fields at the heart of the community between a working farm and a stone mason.
The house is primarily designed for people with disabilities, their families or carers. It is suitable for both wheelchair users and ambulant disabled users, however importantly it could also be used by an individual wheelchair user able to transfer holidaying on their own.
The property has been our holiday home for over 10 years and we have gradually adapted it over the years.
Unfortunately the property is not suitable for children.
