Default How much space needed for a staircase

I'm pretty sure there's enough space but looking at staircases from
Screwfix and such it's very difficult to workout how much space the
actually need.

We're aiming to put it in one end of our (very large) hall, the space
we'd *like* to fit it into is about 2.2 metres by 2.5 metres and has
one outside door opening into it. *Is it practical to get a
conventional staircase into this space (with a turn if necessary) or
do we need to be thinking about some sort of compact/spiral one?

That's more than enough space. I'm about to take out a staircase we
fitted a few years ago to an attic that fits in a space about 1400mm x
2100mm, and goes up 3.1m floor to floor. There are lots of sites that
will help you design a suitable staircase, and quote to supply it.
tkstairs.com is quite good, as is stairplan.com
