Would four steps mean going the steps to grab the door handle,
pulling the door open and having to reverse down the steps whilst
pulling? Seems wrong to me.

Most doors open inwards.

Only in this country.

It has its advantages. My parents front door opens inwards, but the
porch door opens outwards (no choice as there isn't enough space to open
it inwards while you are in the porch). For a while a new milkman kept
putting the bottles on the step, making it impossible to get out in the
morning! Not a problem I and my wife have ever had with an inward
opening door.
