A comfortable and attractive late Victorian Lakeland stone-built cottage formerly part of the old school in Troutbeck Bridge and ideal in any season. The school, the chapel and the headmaster's house were sympathetically converted about twenty years ago into a small cluster of cottages set in an elevated position with fine westerly views to Coniston Old Man and the Langdale Pikes in the distance.

"School Cottage has been the holiday home of our two families since 1988. This spring we have enjoyed refurbishing both ground floor rooms. We have installed a lovely fitted kitchen complete with built-in oven, hob, dishwasher, washer dryer and fridge freezer.
The lounge has benefited from new dining furniture and much improved lighting. With new floor coverings and curtains to both rooms they are now extremely comfortable.
Outside our replanted and stone paved sunny front garden is ideal for sitting or eating al fresco watching the sun disappear below the Langdales.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do."
Jane Douglas
