Dawn and Kevin’s House
Build an easy life!
Dawn and Kevin Truscott built this beautiful barn-style house with support from Welsh Oak Frame. It’s been cleverly designed to make life easier both now and in the future for the whole family.
Says Dawn: “It’s been life changing for us all but particularly our youngest daughter, Flo, who has Downs Syndrome.
“Open plan design, and some clever products and features, allow Flo to be more independent which makes a big difference to us all.”
A Samsung larder-style fridge provides fantastic storage and easy to access too.
A hot tap makes it safer and easier for Flo to make a cup of tea.
A level access open plan layout throughout prevent slips and falls.
Underfloor heating powered by an Air Source heat pump keeps the house warm and affordable to run too.
Flush thresholds prevent trips and falls.
Aqualisa bathfillers are brilliant! Just press a button – it fills to the right temperature and stops when the bath is full enough!
A triple glaze Velux makes the house more energy efficient and allows for star gazing whilst bathing!
Aqualisa shower allows automatic start outside the shower, and an easy press “on/off” facility.
A low lip large 150cm shower tray will prevent trips and allow room for manoeuvre.
There is no shower door which makes it easier to get in and out.
A detachable hand shower allows for showering seating or standing as needed.
Lever handles are on all the taps and doors to make life easy for everyone.
