Overall Rating
Excellent
This house is owned by the family of Doddie Weir, a famous Scottish rugby player who died of MND and so is equipped with the equipment needed for those with complex and severe disability. But it is also a cosy, and beautiful location with spacious rooms for moving around in a wheelchair. When the weather is good there's a lovely conservatory and a patio. And a large driveway with space for a numb of vehicles. The kitchen is well equip with some extra accessible features with a table that's easy enough to get a wheelchair under it. The bathroom is huge with both basin and closimet toilet height adjustable, a hoist to get into the bath and a seat and rails for access the shower. There is a laundry with washer and drier. For those able there are 2 further bedrooms, a bathrooms and lounge upstairs.
