About the host
Hosted by Vivienne Burrough
The house was purpose built for us in 2006. At the time I had my leg in plaster and so the house has been built with wide doors and showers for wheelchair users. Only 2 small steps to get into the house from a drive that runs right up to the front door- wide entrance. We currently live in Singapore but our daughter looks after the property.
