Long Gate, Saltfleetby, LN11

Set within approximately seven acres, the property includes eight stables, a tack/feed room, hay barn, useful stores, paddock grazing, additional grassland used for hay production and an approximately 60 m x 20 m manège. A gated driveway provides ample parking and turning space, while the surrounding lanes offer good outriding.

Despite its tranquil setting, the home remains well placed for everyday needs. Saltfleetby offers a public house, village hall, tearoom and church, while nearby Manby provides a Co-op, takeaways, doctors’ surgery, post office and tearooms. The market town of Louth and the coastal resort of Mablethorpe are both within easy reach, with a broad selection of shops, schools, medical facilities and other amenities; Alford and Grimsby provide an even wider range.

Springfield Farm has been a much-loved home for the vendors, their dogs and horses, and is offered for sale due to relocation and downsizing for early retirement.
