Osterley House is a very granjd house as you can see by this photo, the bad news is that the house is not accessable to wheelchair users or people with moblity problems who find stair hard work.
To reach the front door their are a flight of 20 steps with out a hand rail. At the present the front enterance is closed for works so all visitors to use the side door, and guess what their is another staircase this time of 23 steps and with a handrail, there is NO lift.
There is a hand held audio tour that is touch screen that requires headphones (it works without too.
Photo coming of audio tour.
No subtiltles at all
Here are some photos of inside the house:
These are the rooms in the house not in order but it is unfair if I don't put them is.
Please note that there is a moblity buggy that runs from the disabled parking to the house (it depends on the weather)
The grounds around the house are gravel and that there are cobbles as well so it is not idea, they do have moblity scooters for loan (two seater one as well) but they are not out until the summer that is a bit unfair the one at Ham house is there to hire whatever the weather.
Just to say the paths get better past the toilets that includes a accessable toilet, that is ok could be a bit warmer.
Right the Stables Cafe is where you can get a bite to eat and drink it's the normal range of drinks and snacks
the stable block where the cafe is.And not to forget the gift shop for gifts from pens - shortbread.
