Dear Group,

as threatened in my previous post, here's another ...

I have a rather inconveniently laid out victorian terrace with the stairs in
between the two rooms upstairs and down which means that you have to walk
through the back bedroom to get to the bathroom - unless you halve the floor
area by making a corridor around the edge - thus spoiling the better
bedroom.

Since the stair treads and risers need replacing anyway (though with luck
this would cost little more than the price of a sheet of MDF and one of
plywood), it has been suggested I might have new stairs made and fitted in
reverse at an estimated cost of at least £500.
In the process I also get improved use of the alcoves for storage ...

I can't predict whether I would be looking to sell or rent the house any
time soon, but I wonder if someone could please take a look at my sketch and
tell me if what I am suggesting is an improvement and "worth" the expense.

thanks in anticipation

Jeremy

I used to have one of these houses, we sold when the first kid came
along, and we struggled to sell it to families, a single guy got it in
the end .........

Sorting out the access problem is a great idea .........
