Stairs layout London Victorian End of Terrace
Hello folks. I'm a bit puzzled about whether the layout of the house could be altered to allow for stairs up to the loft from the landing (it's currently in the cupboard space in bedroom 2) - and slightly diffrently, whether you could reconfigure entirely to have stairs that go up the side of house rather than middle? Looks a bit impossible....if you wanted to get into the bathroom!

Comments (8)Just throwing out a quick and simple suggestion: what about not having a full corridor? You could increase the wall from the front door to where the double doors were to start but, rather than carrying on through to the stairs, stop where the double doors were to start. You could then put a door across the corridor. This would create: a vestibule/porch/cloak room inside your front door; a weather buffer; a wall the same length as the one initially envisaged. You could keep your stairs open or you could enclose them (but not the space in front of them) by removing the bannister and replacing with a wall or glass. There goes your pinch point but you would still have the feeling of a "room". Just a 'first blush' response and I'm sure it can be worked on....See MoreRenovation of London Victorian terrace - need creative layout advice:)
Comments (36)Hi there! I’d love to hear what you are using the under the stair spaces for. It looks like the bike could fit under the stairs near main entrance comfortably. You then could use the current bike area for the utility i.e. muddy stuff mops and sports equipment. As such you would need to install shelves to add on the storage space. I’d like to agree with Minipie that, if you really love for the bike area to remain as is, as I feel you might, the next best position for the utility is in the basement. The basement offers several advantages as compared to hiving off a space on G.F, especially when you consider the available space which you’d require to store all the stuff you said. I imagine sports equipment for example would need quite a generous area. I like the idea of a cosier retiring area for the library and I would really recommend an alterations for that. As for a pantry usable from the kitchen, options look really limited but I’d know what you think about moving the toilet across to the opposite void area, and then converting the new space to a pantry. It’s both proximal to the kitchen island, and will also not complicate the plumbing process, since you also want to introduce a sink in there. Hope this is useful!

So, in the end, I have gone for the following house - and any advice about the side extension limitations would be very much appreciated!
You'll see I've drawn a line on the floorplan (not quite accurate), that's the wall that runs the length of the end of the back gardens (that street is at a right angle to my street) and is in fact a further away from the side of the house - perhaps that distance again.
The current lean to, despite being drawn as a square, in fact goes across the side access. Also drawn in. So, could I extend up to the boundary at the back? I'd like to basically square off what's there currently - so get rid of lean to and make the kitchen/bathroom a kitchen diner. This would cut off side access.
I'd move bathroom upstairs to back bedroom (3) - so likely to do that first, where would you run soil pipe? Boiler is located in lean to presently.
Many thanks!

Here's a pic from the front, so you get an idea of what I mean. The white door at the side is straight into the lean to.
