The end bays each had an upper floor containing solars, which did not communicate with each other, as the hall rose to the rafters between them.
The upper stories on both ends typically extended beyond the lower outer wall being jettied on at least one side of the building.
As the main hall had no upper floor the outer wall ran straight up without jettying, and thus the central bays appeared recessed.
Examples are the "Bayleaf farmhouse" from Chiddingstone, relocated in 1968–69 to the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum.
