		Troutbeck Access improvements to cottage
	Improve access for disabled users - and others - to old cottage
Unusual cottage this one - as you can see, the original entrance design is rather dated now and the steps up to the front door have to go - other improvements to the look of the building are planned but improving the access is the immediate priority... the first floor is not shown which emphasises the strange entrance... First sketch proposals...... Ramp screened by wall, new steps and new front door

Revised proposals...
a second attempt - wall replaced with slate kerb along ramp edge, ramp surfaced in sets, wooden handrails... stone arch over the new front door		... note the ramp is rather steep but better to keep a good size level area at top of the ramp..

site pictures...
	The 'spring' of the arch was a bit low for a tall family and so the door is slightly taller than originally designed... the builder (S. Cleary) and joiner (B. Slater) have made a very nice job...
