Le Haut Fresnay

La Fresnaie - a modern detached house. Main features: Sleeps 6 plus a baby Excellent wheelchair access 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms Electric central heating UK satellite TV and DVD player Woodburning stove Wi-Fi internet connection La Fresnaie is a modern detached house on a ¼ acre plot, adjacent to our two other holiday cottages and to our home. Surrounded by mature hedgerows, the house has been designed and built to ensure the highest level of accessibility for disabled guests. Furnished to a high standard, the ground floor of La Fresnaie is all on one level, with tiled floors throughout. The front and kitchen doorways are wide enough for wheelchair access – and there is sufficient room for manoeuvring with ease inside the house. The large, open-sided garage has room for two cars, with covered access to the front door and the ground floor of the house straight from the garage, which ensures protection from the weather all year round. On the same level as the house and garage are a west-facing, covered terrace and a south-facing open terrace. Equipped with garden furniture and a barbecue, both terraces are accessible from the house via the front and kitchen doors. From the covered terrace, the front door of La Fresnaie opens into a large living room with a dining area. A Godin wood-burning stove provides cosy warmth for this room during the cooler months of the year. In addition, the whole house has electric central heating, using either radiant panels or convectors, all with electronic thermostats. The fitted kitchen is equipped with a washing machine, a dishwasher, a fridge-freezer, a microwave oven and the usual small kitchen appliances. The kitchen has been designed with wheelchair access in mind and includes a mid-level oven, a low-level ceramic hob and low-level preparation surfaces. La Fresnaie has two bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor – and two further bedrooms and a second bathroom on the first floor. Bedroom 1 on the ground floor is furnished with twin beds, which can be raised to provide more height to facilitate the use of a hoist. A bed rail is also available, if required. There is also plenty of room for wheelchair manoeuvring. Bedroom 2 (also on the ground floor) has a super-king-size bed, which may be divided to create two large single beds, if preferred. In both configurations, there is plenty of space for manoeuvring a wheelchair and for the use of a hoist (from either the left or the right side of the beds). The adjacent wet-room-style bathroom has a large, open shower area, with a non-slip tiled floor, a drop-down seat and grab rails. The shower area (2.5m²) is large enough for wheelchair access, if necessary. The rest of the bathroom has a non-slip tiled floor – and the WC and hand basin are also ideal for disabled users. A heated towel rail and a powerful convector heater provide comfort and warmth for this spacious room when it is needed. An ash-wood staircase, made by a local carpenter, leads up to a spacious landing, Bedrooms 3 and 4, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The leading edges of the wooden stair treads on the staircase are made of white ash to make them more visible, which should be of particular benefit to guests with any visual impairment. Upstairs, bedroom 3 is furnished with a double bed and bedroom 4 has twin beds. Both rooms are large and can accommodate a cot. Please note that La Fresnaie accommodates up to six people + a baby and you may book three of the four bedrooms. Please advise your choice of bedrooms when making your booking. NB: all bed linen (except cot linen) and towels are provided and included in our prices. According to the composition of your party, you may choose: 2 double beds and 2 single beds, or 1 double bed and 4 single beds or 6 single beds Finally, although we do not accept pet dogs at Le Haut Fresnay, in either La Fermette or Le Fournil, we do accept guide dogs and assistant dogs in La Fresnaie.
