Did anyone watch this last night?
The husband had had a bad stroke and couldn't get up steps, and their house had steps up to the front door, and also a staircase to the bedrooms, and steps down to the garden.
The husband wanted to have access to the whole house, presumably in order to go to bed, plus the garden, and therefore needed a bungalow and flat garden. He wanted to list the house, wife wanted to stay.
They viewed some lovely properties which he liked but the wife didn't.
In the end they spent £57,000 on the house making the kitchen larger and more accessible for the husband to wheel himself around on a "wheely chair", plus a ramp leading out to the garden where he could only sit and look as there were still steps to negotiate. The work took 10 months of disruption and upheaval.
To my mind this didn't fulfil the brief at all. Husband still couldn't get upstairs or properly out into the garden. The wife wanted to stay close to family who lived just round the corner, but the bungalows Phil showed them were only a 10-15 minute drive away.
What did others think?
