Our Homes

Wheelchair adaptable homes

At Peabody New Homes our focus is on designing and building developments people can flourish in. We want our homes to meet the highest standards, and be affordable and comfortable. As part of meeting the needs of all our residents, we offer wheelchair adaptable homes.

What is a wheelchair adaptable home?

A wheelchair adaptable home is defined on the government website as "a home that can be easily adapted to meet the needs of a household including wheelchair users".

From the beginning, wheelchair adaptable homes are designed with accessibility in mind. They are thought through to allow alterations to be made later on to turn it into a wheelchair accessible home.

For a home to meet accessibility needs such as being wheelchair accessible, several criteria must be met. That means that not every home can be altered to become an accessible home.

To provide a wheelchair user with a home that is comfortable and grants them autonomy, it is crucial to have step-free access to the home but also to think about the actual life of that person in the home and their daily activities (going places, cooking, showering).

Our homes for wheelchair users

We build great homes in places where people want to live, with our New build homes being an attractive option for home buyers wanting to benefit from buying schemes such as Shared Ownership.

We want this offer to be available to as many people as possible and therefore build a number of wheelchair adaptable apartments as part of our Shared Ownership developments. They are designed to allow residents to make alterations to meet their mobility needs easily.

Key design features to create a wheelchair accessible home include:

Wider doors and hallways to allow wheelchair users to move freely
Bathrooms that can be turned into wet rooms for wheelchair users to use independently
Additional space has been included within bedrooms and living areas to to allow for a potential wheelchair user

We have wheelchair adaptable homes across a range of properties across London and The Homes Counties. To learn more, please speak to our sales team about our availability Enquiries@Peabodynewhomes.co.uk or search our properties and register your interest.
