About this home
A two-bedroom flat in Bishopston set up by a tenant with low vision. Door frames, light switches and step edges contrast strongly with the walls. The hob and oven have tactile markers, the washing machine talks, and the layout is kept simple and consistent. A guide dog has lived here before and the landlord welcomes assistance dogs. Level entrance; the bathroom has rails.
