The land that comes with Riverside House is an absolute delight. It can easily be adapted to suit a variety of needs but the vendors have created meandering paths through a rewilding paddock, there is a coppicing wood and a large wild flower meadow with mown path around the perimeter. The principal area of the garden is laid to lawn with views over the meadow and the vendors have created a feature raised seating area for alfresco entertaining and to enjoy the sunsets. In addition there is the added benefit of a hard tennis court.

LOCATION The property is located just 2 miles from the thriving market town of Diss, with its historic mere and mainline railway connection to London Liverpool Street (90 mins). Norwich, Bury St. Edmunds and Ipswich are all approximately 20 miles distant, providing outstanding recreation, shopping and schooling opportunities. More locally, the property lies in the catchment area for Hartismere School at Eye, 5 miles, which has consecutively been rated as 'outstanding' by Ofsted (November 2014).
