Garden staircases in Greenwich and Blackheath. External stairs for town gardens.
Greenwich and Blackheath gardens
The Georgian and Victorian terraces around Greenwich Park, the Paragon and the streets off Blackheath Village were built with lower-ground floors, which means a garden that sits a full storey below the main rooms. Reaching it often involves going through the basement. An external staircase from the ground-floor rear to the garden is one of the most valuable things that can be added to these houses, and one of the more technical, because it has to comply with balustrade rules for the drop and sit well against listed or conservation-area brickwork.
What works here
Slim painted steel in black or a heritage grey with vertical balusters and a continuous handrail is the finish that planners and neighbours accept most readily. Treads are usually steel or stone to match a York-stone terrace. Spirals solve the tightest lightwells. We produce drawings suitable for a planning application where one is needed, and it often is in the conservation areas here.
