Accommodation
Mulberry House is a spacious and well-appointed detached house providing accommodation for eight service users in eight single bedrooms; all with en-suite shower/bathrooms. All bedrooms are furnished, but if individuals wish to bring their own furniture and possessions, this is actively encouraged. Two bedrooms are located on the ground floor and six bedrooms are located on the first floor. There is a very large lounge which has patio windows overlooking the rear garden and the abundance of communal space in the home allows for separate dining areas to be used, if required. It is also used as an area where service users can develop independent living skills individually or together. There is a well-equipped kitchen and a separate laundry room. We have an attractive and secluded rear garden with a large patio area which lends itself well to seasonal activities - for example; barbecues, garden parties, sports, etc.
