Deep enough. That would be right up into our upstairs. David at 6'4" has to duck slightly to go through the doors if he is wearing shoes (he tends to duck autoatically whether he has shoes on or not) and certainly dosn't need steps or anything to change a light bulb. In fact he can paint the ceiling without having to hold his arm at full stretch, but upstairs the ceilings are much higher as the bedrooms are built into the roof, although we do have a small loft as well, but not tall enough to stand up in other than right in the very central part. If the floor hadn't been dug out before ever we bought the house he wouldn't have been able to stand upright downstairs at all, but it has been dug out by about a foot or more and the pavement outside is higher than our floor. I'm glad we live in one of the driest places in the UK although we are marked down as being a flood risk - there is a very shallow stream at the end of the garden, about 4" deep most of the year, virtually dry in the summer, and can rise to about 18" in the winter, and the stream banks are about 6' deep and 10' wide, plus we have a compost heap at the end of the garden that stands nearly as tall as me, so the water would have to rise a lot to flood us out and then flood the houses out over the road as they stand about 15' higher than these houses. We would have to be totally under water to flood them out but some of them pay more insurance than we do because of the flood risk. Crazy.
