A very comfortable house, felt homely and contains all you need. Loved the location, great for Yarmouth ferry. Very easy with dogs, using conservatory and kitchen to enter and leave garden aswell as a large entrance hall. Parking good and in a very nice road.

Whilst this bungalow has many attractive features i.e. clean, nicely laid out, good size lounge/dining area, nice conservatory/garden, as a full time wheelchair user the wet room was inaccessible, unless you can walk to the shower. This room is particularly narrow and the toilet sticks out blocking the way. On the website it is classified as 'increRead moreased accessibility' which I think is misleading. It would be advantageous if the wet room measurements were included especially the toilet to wall. Hide
