Diss: the market town with much to offer

Orchard Croft is our new development in the historic market town of Diss on the south Norfolk borders. Set within beautiful countryside, the town offers an extensive range of day-to-day amenities and facilities with the benefit of a mainline train station which has regular, direct services to London, Liverpool Street and Norwich.

  • Choice of over 11 house styles
  • Edge of town location
  • Excellent commuter links to Norwich and Ipswich
  • Good local schools
  • Close to good selection of facilities and amenities

With a market hosted at the town's centre for well over 500 years, Diss has every right to call itself a market town. And it's certainly picturesque. Living in Diss means you'll be in the heart of the beautiful Waveney Valley and be able to enjoy walks around the Mere, one of the deepest natural inland lakes in the country. Covering over 6 acres, the Mere was once believed to be the crater of an extinct volcano, and is the perfect place to enjoy a Sunday afternoon stroll or a picnic on a summer's day.

Diss is a charming location

You can also enjoy a stroll through the town centre, embarking on a journey through its old courtyards and winding streets. Discover centuries of history with excellent examples of Tudor, Georgian and Edwardian architecture and the stunning Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin. Sitting slightly above the town, the church can be seen from miles around and has stood on its current site since 1290.

With the hustle and bustle of daily life becoming ever more stressful, Diss is now proud to be part of the Cittaslow, or ‘Slow City' project. Undertaking a pledge to embark upon a continuous process of self-improvement, Cittaslow is a growing international network of towns where quality of life is important.

What better place to create a home?

This area is excellent for families, boasting fantastic local facilities which this community benefits from. With three local surgeries, nurseries and a number of well-respected primary and secondary schools in the area, the Orchard Croft development is perfectly located for convenience.

With the city of Norwich and the town of Ipswich being so close (both under 25 miles away), they're the perfect place to enjoy a spot of shopping, where you'll find a great choice of independent and big brand names. A little closer to home, the shops in Diss are arranged around four courtyards: Cobbs, Norfolk House, Hales and Will – all boasting a wonderful array of shops and, of course, the historic market. The town is also home to a number of supermarkets, including a large Morrisons as well as a Tesco for day-to-day necessities.

With the Cittaslow pledge, the combination of history, convenience and its wonderful local surroundings, Diss is a popular place to buy a new home. This, together with the variety of two, three, four and five bedroom homes to suit first time buyers through to expanding families, means Orchard Croft could be your ideal place to call home.
