The Schoolhouse is a most attractive house, situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Dirleton and constructed from Rattlebags stone. Built in 1912, the house was formerly the residence of the headteacher for the local village school. Although for a time split into upper and lower villa flats, the house has been sympathetically restored to a single dwelling, retaining many original features alongside modern updates including double-glazed sash and case windows throughout.

A pedestrian gate leads to the side of the house where a welcoming front door with half glazing leads into the entrance vestibule where a cloak cupboard is located and beyond a generous hallway. To one side is the generous kitchen/dining room with traditional bay window with window seat and views to the south over the garden. The kitchen is fully fitted with floor and wall units offering excellent storage and there is a large central kitchen island housing the sink and dishwasher while the integrated fridge and large gas stove are located on the rear wall.

The adjacent sitting room with period mantelpiece also benefits from the southerly aspect and garden views with traditional features including sanded and polished wooden floor, bay window, picture rail and ceiling cornicing. Also on the ground floor are the gym/family room, utility room, two ground floor bedrooms and a shower room.

The staircase leads up to the first floor landing where the stair returns and offers space for a music room. A first floor living room is situated alongside the principal bedroom with built in wardrobes and en suite shower room both capturing the best southerly views to Garleton Hill. A further two double bedrooms are located on this level which benefit from a large family bathroom with separate shower and bath.
