Location The property stands in the rural village of Saltfleetby. The village was for many years named as three areas of Saltfleetby according to the respective parish churches being approximately 9 miles from the market town of Louth. Popular with locals and tourists alike, Louth has numerous independent shops, three main supermarkets, schools and academies including the King Edward VI Grammar, and a wealth of recreational facilities such as cinema, theatre, sports centres, swimming pool, golf course, tennis academy etc. The rural area is popular with equestrians and day passes can be acquired to ride on the nearby beaches or there are miles of green lanes and bridleways. The Kenwick Park Leisure and Equestrian Centre is on the Louth outskirts. Just a short distance to the east of Saltfleetby is the popular coastline and at the nearest point this has direct access to miles of nature reserve and walks along the sand dunes. Several miles to the north are Cleethorpes and Grimsby while further south the coast reverts to long sandy beaches stretching for miles past resorts and villages leading eventually to Skegness and Gibraltar Point.
