The building is thought to have been converted to residential use at some point in the 1860s, following decommission as a railway station, the rear extensions, in brick possibly being added at this time to house a kitchen and bathroom. The access to the attic bedrooms is via a modern Ramsay ladder, one of the bedrooms has a recess providing access to the clock mechanism in the roundel. The property is thought to have been occupied upto the 1990s.(Swan)
