Homes and staircases in Birch

A great many homes here are chalet bungalows with the bedroom in the roof, reached by a steep, narrow stair. Older cottages and farm buildings add variety.

Local tip: Chalet bungalows are common in Birch. Their stairs are often steep and tight, so we choose a slim straight or perching stairlift after measuring pitch and width.
