Sketchy Plans

Our house is rather unusual in that the front door is on the side and thus the stairs divide it in two.  This arrangement was a little unnerving when we first saw it as you arrive at the stairs as soon as you come in the front door.  There is no grand Victorian hallway or proper entrance.  It also means you have to walk past the front door every time you go from living room to the rear.  Its not the best feature, but one which we have to work with.

The sketch plans below describe the internal arrangement of rooms with the staircase dividing the house across its width.
