the name of the staircase design

[Maybo]

What is the name of the staircase design? The staircases that are outside the house and under the ground.

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

The stairs going up and down are both called the front stairs or the front steps.

The ones going up can also be called the stoop.

I call them front steps or possibly doorsteps if there are just a few. Not stairs. Not a staircase.

They are normal entrance staircases/steps to two maisonette/townhouse units, one of which is a basement. They are common in big cities in the UK. There is no special name for the design. You can probably call the decorative handrails Victorian cast iron railing/balustrade.

P.S. What I meant was a semi-basement. That is not considered a basement either as it is not fully below ground level.
