Homes and staircases in Prettygate

Interwar and post-war semi-detached houses, bungalows and chalet bungalows are typical. Most staircases are straight with a landing at the top, ideal for a straight stairlift, and chalet bungalows often have a steep, narrow stair to the upstairs bedroom.

Local tip: In chalet bungalows the stair is often steeper and narrower than in a standard house, so we check headroom and the pitch carefully at the survey.
