Earls Court Living
Second floor
The bedroom floors were usually similar in plan to the first floor but were sometimes subdivided into smaller rooms, particularly on the top floor. In larger houses the stair to the top floor might take the form of a small accommodation stair outside the main stairwell, and in such cases it was normally of timber construction. The owner’s bedroom would usually be on the second floor, with provision for children’s rooms and servants’ rooms on this or higher floors in accordance with the scale of the house.
