Gedney Dyke is an unspoilt small village with many other good quality individual homes. Location of the property about 1.5 miles north of the A17 for ease of access. The small but busy Market Town of Long Sutton is located approximately 3 miles away and has a good range of amenities including Co-Op Store/Post Office, One Stop, Boots, Health Centre, Library, Ironmongers, Electrical store, Dentists, Hairdressers and various eateries. The larger towns of Kings Lynn and Spalding are both approximately 19 miles away and have ongoing coach and rail links direct to London and the North.
