Differences between Basement & Cellar

basement is accessed from a vertical

door inside the house;

cellar is accessed from a horizontal door

outside the house. 

basements can be finished

cellars are for storage.

Page 11: Houses

In the UK, cellar implies the dark damp "room"

under the ground floor in a house; often the only access is through a trap-door. Some people convert their

cellars into living spaces; others leave them to

the spiders and old gas-masks.

Basement on the other hand implies a

storey below the ground floor which is used as a living or storage space. In larger 19th and early 20th century houses, this area was where the servants worked. Steps from the street lead down to an ordinary door.

"Basement flats" are very common

in such houses.In office buildings, the basement may be ordinary office space, or a storage area.
