Suitability

• wheelchair inaccessibleLightwood is an eighteenth-century house and consequently has some idiosyncrasies not seen in a modern house, such as steep staircases, low doorways and some uneven floors. A small downstairs bedroom, which adjoins the living room, is close to the downstairs bathroom. Because there are steps into the house as well as a step down into the dining room, Lightwood House is usually unsuitable for the infirm or disabled.
