Turning Limestone Stair Onto a Flagstone Floor

Photographed close in at the turn, this reclaimed limestone stair shows exactly how thick the treads run: each one a full slab with a square blunt nosing and a pale green grey bloom across the surface where damp and time have worked into the stone. The flight winds up past a plain stone jamb and lands on a floor of irregular honey toned flagstones. Available to buy, this stair suits courtyard houses, cellar and tower conversions, and interiors where the stair meets an antique stone floor and both need to look the same age.
