About this place
A converted net loft a few doors back from the working harbour. The whole cottage sits on one level. We inspected it in person and measured every doorway and threshold on the route you would actually use. The harbour wall gives a calm outlook, though gulls are part of harbour life and can be loud early.

Completely step-freeWheel-in / roll-in shower“The measurements were exactly right. I could turn my chair in the wet room and the transfer space was where they said. The threshold really was flush.”

Ground-floor bedroom“Lovely cottage and honest listing. The clearance under the bed is only 15cm so our hoist legs would not fit. VerifiedStay had this in the report, so no surprise, but worth flagging for other hoist users.”
