Villagers prefer to be above workstations. When there are blocks on top of their job site they will prefer to walk a level higher to be above their workstation.
Removing the cobblestone in the picture, will cause the villager to walk down the stairs to their workstation. Placing it back will cause them to walk back up.
When I block the stairs, they will stand next to their workstation either way. (but they won't like it 😛)

Of course, but how can I do that?
No Idea, a mod can probably help with that 🙂

I can confirm this, it will always choose the highest Y coordinate pathable if the two blocsk directly above its workstation is blocked off.
[media]Also notice that there is a shorter path if the villager chose to stand beneath the workstation instead of above it.
And it can also be blocked with fence post or stone wall and other blocks.
This ultimately prevents the villager from restocking its trades if it cant reach its workstation correctly.
