Whereas the ground floor had the living areas, this floor contains the bedroom suites, as well as an office and a second library. The office and the billiards room on the ground floor are contained within a tower, and higher floors are restricted to that structure.

The reason for three entrances is unknown. Since the house has been heavily modified since it was first built several hundred years ago, it is possible this is a remnant of earlier designs. For example, the billiards room may have at one time been a guard room, while the doors leading into the stair hall may have been the main entrance of the manor with access to both the living room and the bedrooms above. The entrance off the foyer may then have been a private family entrance.

Nowadays, however, the foyer entrance is the main entrance, with a secondary entrance in the garage. The stair hall entrance is meant to receive guests for parties, while the billiards room entrance serves as a secondary guest entrance as well as for immediate access to the gate.
