Converted buildings and rooms over shops in Featherstone

The house in Purston Park was once the town hall; it was sold in 2007 and turned into flats, and the former Jubilee Hotel has been converted into apartments as well. A conversion of an older building can keep an awkward staircase, with a tight turn on a landing, so a sofa or a wardrobe is measured against the narrowest turn before the day. Send a photo of the stairs from the bottom and from the top landing.

A flat above a shop on Station Lane is a different carry. The door is usually beside the shop front, the stair goes straight up, and the van stops on the street outside the parade. Weekday mornings bring deliveries and shoppers, so an early start or a Sunday, when the van works the same 8am to 8pm hours, gives the easiest access to the pavement.

Stairs, keys and the street door: getting a Featherstone flat ready

Book the lift if your building has one, and check whether there are set moving hours
Collect the keys for any communal door or bin store the day before
For a flat over a shop on Station Lane, tell us which door is yours along the parade
Say if anything heavy, such as a chest freezer, has to come down the stairs
