Mobility friendly housing at Fairhills Point in Irlam

Charles Church has adapted a group of six two bedroom apartments and a four bedroom house at the Fairhills Point development in Irlam to make them into mobility friendly homes. The six apartments which make up The Grosvenor have all been modified to ensure that they are user friendly for disabled people.

They have extra wide doors, bathrooms which have been converted to wet rooms as well as flashing lights and sirens which are activated when the doorbell and/or telephone rings. Some of the apartments have kitchen units and surfaces which have been specifically lowered so that wheelchair users can use them whilst sat in their chairs.

Plot 31 - The Turnbury - is accessible and has been adapted for a family with a child or relative who has a disability. You’ll find that only the ground floor has been modified – making it the perfect home for a family which has a disabled child or elderly relative, someone with learning difficulties or someone who has an impairment. A ground floor with wet room has been created. The rest of the home on the first and second floor has not been modified and offers five more bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Claire Jarvis, Sales Manager for Charles Church North West, says: “We wanted to give something back to the community and by adapting seven of the homes at Fairhills Point we have done just that. While the apartments are certain to appeal to people who live on their own or with a partner and are wheelchair bound, the house would make the perfect home for a family which has a relative who is disabled – as the downstairs has been especially adapted. I believe that Charles Church is one of the only housebuilders in the Manchester area to have created Mobility Friendly Homes and I am certain that as soon as the word spreads people will be queuing up to buy them!”

Fairhills Point is a development of two bedroom apartments and three, four and five bedroom houses. With 11 different housetypes, there is a house to meet all requirements.

The development is in Irlam, just nine miles from Manchester city centre. The show home is open from Thursday to Monday between 10.30am and 5.30pm so visit and see the mobility friendly homes for yourself.
