Our cottages typically attract purchasers that want the benefits of living alongside like minded neighbours, in addition to maintaining a life of independence.

Cottages are sold freehold and also benefit from a straightforward management arrangement which provides services such as window cleaning, communal garden maintenance and a 24-hour careline support, ideal when thinking about the future. These cottages are part of a wider retirement community featuring a collection of 58 one and two bedroom apartments at Mere Lodge.

Diss is also well-connected, with Norwich just 20 minutes away by train and London reachable in just 90 minutes. The coast is within easy reach for a seaside day out.
Each cottage benefits from dedicated parking and a private garden, ideal if you have a pet, enjoy outdoor space or simply value privacy.

Attractive market town
Nestled in South Norfolk, Diss is a traditional market town and the gateway to the stunning Waveney Valley which stretches eastwards from the town. With a rich heritage and culture, it’s no wonder Diss is a sought-after place to live.
- Whilst the town is quite small, it’s vibrant and bustling with a number of high street retailers and independent boutiques. You’ll also find an array of cuisines to choose from, perfect for a dinner date with family and friends.
- Diss is famous for its Mere, a deep natural inland lake that’s set within plush parkland where you can picnic or simply stroll along admiring the many birds that frequent this area.
- Being a traditional market town, a weekly market takes place every Friday, whilst the Diss Farmer’s Market comes to town on the second Saturday of each month.
- Bressingham Steam and Gardens is a steam museum and offers beautiful gardens, situated just west of Diss. The unique gardens are truly tranquil and provide the perfect location for a relaxing afternoon. Or why not take a trip on one of the four railways, or ride on the steam Gallopers!
- Diss is a fantastic location and is extremely well connected! You can get to Norwich by train in just 20 minutes, or if you fancy a day out, you can be in London within 90 minutes. The coast is only an hour away too, if you decide you’d like to spend the day at the beach.
