 How to improve access through a front doorway. - henry k
Sorry - further info
It is a second floor flat and there is no way the door can be widened due to two adjacent doors within the flat

>>How was furniture moved into that part of the house before the conversion?
The original configuration ( ten years + before my daughter bought it) was obviously quite different and judging by the inferior staircase at that level the staff were on the top floor :-)

The size of settee that will go through the door is a real problem. The door is a normal width but there is little space to move a settee from standing on its end on the landing and tilting it through the gap.
The present tenants said they only just got a medium /small settee through the door.

(We had a similar problem when we moved to our current house. Our long settee with very narrow arms would not go into our front room unless we demolished part of the stairs. fortunately there were french doors on the bcak room so thats where it went)
