Sulphur Creek
Granny Flat

600 Sq Ft ∙ 1 Bed ∙ 1 Bath

Coble, Hickman County

A wheelchair can go anywhere.

A guest house in Coble, 600 square feet, one bedroom and one bath, built so a wheelchair can go anywhere in it. The doorways are wide, the thresholds are flush, the shower has no curb, and there isn’t a step between the covered carport and the front door.

It’s finished plainly, except that the living room and the bedroom have vaulted ceilings in wood, which make two small rooms feel taller than they are. There’s a full kitchen, small, with a laundry closet, and a covered porch at the front and at the back.
