Here in December, we replaced the loft stairs with a new and more user-friendly staircase.
The stairs are easily pulled out, and access to the loft now takes place with horizontal steps, so it is easy to get up and down.
When the ladder is not in use, it is easily pushed up against the wall, so it takes up minimal space.
