One The Old School, Leiston

This unique and imaginatively designed holiday home, previously an Edwardian grammar school, was converted in 2020 to provide superb accommodation for four guests wanting a short break or holiday on the Suffolk Coast. One The Old School is really spacious and retains many original features giving it lots of character, particularly in the wonderful open plan living space with vaulted ceiling and large mullioned windows flooding the room with light.

Interiors are beautifully furnished and acces

Ground Floor
Fantastic light and airy open plan double height living space. Seating area is furnished with an Ercol sofa, retro 70s chair cosy love seat, dresser housing cards and games with Smart TV on top, and occasional tables.
Dining area – French Cherry table with matching chairs.
Well equipped kitchen with long counter where friends/family can sit on sturdy bar stools chatting to the ‘chef’. Integrated fridge, freezer, waist height oven and microwave, ceramic hob with extractor and a dishwasher.

Great additional space for some peace and quiet, with a sofa and couple of tables.

Ground floor bedroom
King size bed, bedside drawers, extra drawer unit, an easy chair and school chair giving a nod to the history of the house!
Bathroom
Fabulous modern bathroom. Yhr L shaped bath has a rain and hand held shower heads, WC, washbasin set in a vanity unit and a heated towel rail.

Upstairs
Relatively steep wooden stairs with bannister rise to the first-floor gallery (the reason why children under the age of five are not permitted to stay here).
Main Bedroom
The king size bed takes pride of place between bedside units. There’s masses of space for you to unpack with an enormous walk in wardrobe and a Scandi style dressing table with stool.
En-Suite
Luxurious hotel style shower room with twin basins, WC and a huge walk-in shower with both rain and hand-held shower heads.

Outside
There are two allocated parking places for guests to the right of the building and a bistro style table and chairs so you can sit outside at the front of the house.

Unfortunately, children under the age of five are not permitted to stay at this house due to the risk of an accident with the galleried landing. This holiday house does not welcome dogs. There are ongoing building works going on in the adjacent building but this should be largely unintrusive to your stay at One The Old School.
