Default Ground cover

I am just taking over the garden in our new place.

It is fairly small and supposed to be of the "low management" style.

I am disabled and cannot get down easily and so wish to make it even
more disabled friendly and ultra low management.

There are at present a good selection of daffodils and narcissi, a large
patch of what looks like lily leaves (no flowers as yet so I am unsure
of what they are), the odd rose bush and other shrubs.

Can anyone suggest a good ground cover that will act as a weed control,
but needing minimum care so I don't have to get down on my hands and
knees!

Look at vinca minor, called periwinkle. Blooms in early spring and when it
spreads to areas you do not want it is easy to remove or trim back. There
is always someone that wants the plants you remove.
