Missy's House, Northamptonshire.

Two of the three bathrooms at Missy’s House are level-access wet rooms, while the third has a separate bath and level-access shower to accommodate those who love a soak, as well as young children. All are fitted with white porcelain sanitaryware including basins wall-mounted at the optimum height to accommodate a stool or wheelchair underneath. Their elegant cut-outs offer discreet support while doubling up as a great spot to hang a hand towel, and their wide countertops serve as easy access storage for daily essentials. Every bathroom features a combination of attractive fixed and folding chrome grab rails which complement the bathrooms’ other brassware. Strategically positioned where it is most likely to be needed, support includes dual-purpose L-shaped shower riser rails which can support 150kg of weight as a grab rail. Other clever product choices include: 

• Discreet shower seats which neatly fold up against the wall
• Comfort lever mixer taps
• Illuminated mirrors complete with demister pads
• Comfort height toilets with easy-to-operate mechanical flush plates
• Low surface temperature electric towel rails
• Push-button call alarms which are a more discrete, user-friendly, and hygienic alternative to traditional emergency red pull-cords 
• Slip resistant porcelain floor tiles

Next to the bath is a tiled shelf which can be transferred onto from a wheelchair to aid getting in and out of the bath. The second bathroom features eye catching storage niches made from complimentary tiles. All three bathrooms are finished with eye-catching Italian tiles; a combination of a blue/green shade reminiscent of the woodland outside, combined with a paler neutral in the two main bathrooms, and a beautifully subtle textured neutral tile throughout the ensuite. 

“Named after and inspired by my sister, Missy’s House has been purpose built for people with disabilities, but it’s been done in a subtle, design-led way, so it doesn’t look clinical in the slightest. We realised early on that a lot goes into creating accessible bathrooms, especially ones that look great too. So, we enlisted Motionspot’s expertise, and Rebecca and her team supported us every step of the way; from the initial floor plans to sorting out the finishing touches. The resulting bathrooms are a vital component in the creation a holiday home that makes the perfect getaway, no matter what your access needs may be.”
