Well, at least maintenance access is easy :-)

The message from "VisionSet" contains these words:
A nice set of glass shelves would be nice - provided you don't mind the dusting.

cripes, I thought I'd seen some bodges in my time that's a real doozer
presumable there was some cupboarding concealing it ?

Can't see the detail well enough, but it looks similar to my handrail, which is a Richard Burbidge one. I constructed a banister and handrail just like yours (including the part going down the stairs). I made it all from planed timber, except the handrail for which I used a Richard Burbidge one which was intended for use with their kits.

I wouldn't say it was a bodge. The location is original as the storage place for water from a solid fuel back boiler in 1930-? The current plumbing is pretty typical for the 1970's replacement. What you can't see is the drooping joist stubs tacked on to the staircase bearer, which is just the passage of time and the lack of a span. Still be glad to be rid of it, and I suspect the house will smile again.
