Details
Situated just a mile off the A12 and the pretty, unspoilt village of Blythburgh, with its famous 13th C church, the location of Highsteppers is ideal for picturesque seaside venues of Southwold, Walberswick, Dunwich, Aldeburgh & Snape Maltings. and the RSPB bird reserve at Minsmere as well as inland Framlingham, Laxfield, Halesworth and Saxmundham.
There are amazing views over the Blyth Valley from the lounge and bedroom windows. A private Leisure centre for owners and guests of houses and apartments at Blythview includes a good sized shared, heated, indoor swimming pool, a mini-gym and a games room. Currently these are open but have to be booked in advance as only one household allowed in ti each facility at any one time.
This 4* accommodation is arranged on the 1st & 2nd Floors of a magnificent Georgian building that was originally a workhouse. It offers spacious accommodation for 4 people and a sofabed in the lounge can sleep a further 2 people for a few nights. Furnished to a high standard, with full gas central heating, the accommodation comprises a large, fully equipped kitchen, a lounge diner, two double bedrooms - one with ensuite shower room and a separate family bathroom. Parking is available in the courtyard by the entrance to the apartment and there is further parking at the back.
Please note there are unfenced canals in the communal grounds, so the property is not ideal for toddlers and young children.
Many of our guests return on a regular basis as they find the location so peaceful and convenient.
The Leisure centre is about 100 metres walk from the apartment. Children welcome from age 16.
