 The western portion originally had an overhanging section of the second floor; this was altered in the early 18th century, when the roof was raised to a flatter pitch and the overhanging section was concealed by construction of a flush wall.The two parts of the house were under separate ownership from 1759 until the mid-19th century.As a result, each section has its own staircase, one of them fashioned with Second Period (mid-18th century) turned woodwork.
