One The Old School, Leiston

Leiston, Suffolk

Situated in Leiston, Suffolk, this unique holiday home, known as One The Old School, is a former Edwardian grammar school that underwent a thoughtful conversion in 2020. Designed to accommodate up to four guests, it offers a spacious and character-filled retreat for those seeking a short break or holiday near the scenic Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property boasts an open-plan living space with a striking vaulted ceiling and large mullioned windows that allow natural light to pour in, enhancing the inviting atmosphere.

The ground floor features an airy living area furnished with an Ercol sofa, a retro 70s chair, and a cozy love seat, complemented by a dresser filled with games and a Smart TV for entertainment. A French Cherry dining table, accompanied by matching chairs, creates a perfect setting for meals, while the well-equipped kitchen includes modern appliances such as an integrated fridge, waist-height oven, and a ceramic hob, allowing for enjoyable cooking experiences. Additionally, there is a study area for those seeking a quiet moment, along with a comfortable ground floor bedroom that showcases a king-size bed and charming historical touches.

Ascending the relatively steep wooden stairs leads to the first-floor gallery, where the main bedroom is located. This spacious room features a king-size bed, ample storage with a walk-in wardrobe, and a stylish Scandi dressing table. The luxurious en-suite bathroom includes twin basins and a large walk-in shower with both rain and handheld shower heads, providing a spa-like experience. However, it is important to note that children under five are not permitted due to safety concerns regarding the galleried landing.

Outside, guests have access to two designated parking spaces and a bistro-style table and chairs for outdoor relaxation. While there are ongoing building works in the adjacent property, they are expected to be minimally intrusive. One The Old School is ideally located near local landmarks such as Leiston Abbey and Moot Hall, with nearby recreational activities including golf at Thorpeness and Aldeburgh Golf Clubs, as well as visits to RSPB Minsmere and Easton Farm Park, making it a perfect base for exploring the area.
