Accessibility details
The property is flat with no inclines. There are some areas of brick-cobbled pathways with steps and narrow gates through the gardens, and some rough ground in the farmyard and natural grass spaces in orchards and gardens. We have a manual wheelchair which can be borrowed, and a courtesy vehicle which can offer lifts around the property. Unfortunately, we are unable to allow powered mobility vehicles within Strode House (apart from to access the accessible toilet) due to the historic flooring.
