3 bedroom detached house – Lion Road, Palgrave

Property Details

Location

Palgrave benefits from a good community feel, with its church, village school, and two Greens with   a duck pond on the largest of the two. The welcoming community centre provides many activities and events for all ages to enjoy, and within the surrounding playing field, a newly equipped play area for children has been installed. There is a pleasant footpath from the centre of the village which takes you to Diss in around 15 minutes.  For the commuter Palgrave is very well placed as there is a mainline rail station on the Norwich to London Liverpool Street line in Diss, and this bustling market town surrounding an attractive Mere provides an excellent range of sporting, social and shopping facilities.  The village has a well-regarded primary school which has been rated as good with outstanding aspects by Ofsted.  Secondary schooling for the area is in the smaller town of Eye just 5 miles away.  For those who enjoy the coast the famous areas of Southwold and Aldeburgh are within 50 minutes by car, or the North Norfolk Coast is little over the hour.  This is a location which provides tranquil village life with excellent access to all the delights Suffolk has to offer, including the beautiful and historic market town of Bury St Edmunds and just over the border in Norfolk, the cathedral city of Norwich.
