Uniquely renovated Peebles schoolhouse, sleeps up to 11, 2 mins from town centre

About This Space
Step inside The Old School—a beautifully re-imagined 19th-century schoolhouse where Victorian heritage meets curated luxury. As auction house owners, we’ve turned this remarkable building into our own private gallery of antiques, curiosities, and rare finds. Every piece has a story; every room has a soul.

The centerpiece of the property is its breathtaking former classroom: now a stunning open-plan living space with a soaring vaulted ceiling, magnificent original windows, exposed Victorian floorboards, and the preserved school chalkboard—a feature that anchors the entire room in history. Sunlight pours across eclectic displays of antique wonders, creating a space that feels both grand and intimate.

Modern comforts blend seamlessly with the building’s past, including eco-friendly green air-source heating, solar power, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a fully equipped contemporary kitchen. The lounge, with its museum-like charm, is designed for long evenings, good conversation, and total relaxation.

Four distinctive themed bedrooms offer a refined sense of escape. Two elegant ground-floor doubles and two spacious upper-floor bedrooms (each sleeping up to three) ensure the house can luxuriously accommodate up to 10 guests without ever feeling crowded.
