Açıklama: Access is the correct word and doesn't actually mean the same as entrance.
To quote the building dictionary: a way in or out, including any circulation area for walking (such as a stair, balcony or ramp), vehicle access to a site (such as a road or wayleave) or even hand access for inspection. Special requirements apply to access for fire fighting and for the disabled.
This is exactly as I thought, in this case the access could be a drive(way) or a path or both. It is the means of getting to the front door (entrance). Anyway, I agree with Michael above, entrance is a better choice than entry, but I just didn't have enough room in the agree for all this and it is another possibility.
I am giving Nikki the points for the explanation of access in this context, which was very helpful and seems to best fit my text. One other note: for those of you who supported the idea of entrance hall, foyer, etc., the same house also has a recibidor and a distribuidor. :-)

access door vs. entrance door
Açıklama: The access door could be a "front access door" or a "side access door" giving access to the property itself. For instance, here in my city, such houses have a front access door, then comes a little garden and then the entrance door to the house's main floor, whereas there is a side access door for the people living in the first floor of the house, of course they have their own "side entrance door".
