6. A loft a floor or a set of rooms on the same floor or level. A story comprehends the distance from one floor to another as a story of nine or ten feet elevation.

The farm houses in New England have usually two stories the houses in Paris have usually five stories a few have more those in London four. But in the United States the floor next the ground is the first story in France and England, the first floor or story, is the second from the ground.
