School Cottage is a Grade II listed 17th century timber-framed yeoman's farmhouse which was originally part of the Nicholson Estate and a school before World War II. The house has many exposed timbers and old fireplaces; the drawing room has an inglenook fireplace with a bread oven and a good ceiling height and the kitchen/breakfast room comes with a walk-in larder.
The staircase divides into two landing areas: on one side is the principal bedroom suite and on the other two further bedrooms. The fourth bedroom forms part of the eastern end of the cottage and has a galleried bed deck.
