This is your typical Malacca style pre war town house. The layout is very narrow and sports a
central open air well.

Unfortunately in this house the main stairs to the 1st floor has since been stolen and so no
access to upstairs was possible.

The original stairs would have been a wood spiral set. No nails or screws
would have been used in its construction. A real work of art. Round these
parts it would have fetched more than 3000 quid on the black market.

There was also a back stairs case, but they stole the treads from that as well.
Oh well.
