Location
Palgrave is a very popular village on the borders of Suffolk with Norfolk at the head of the Waveney Valley. It retains a good community feel with its church, village school and Green with duck pond. There is a pleasant footpath from the centre of the village which takes you to Diss by foot in around 15 minutes. For the commuter it 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 provides an excellent range of sporting, social and shopping facilities. The village has a very 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 a little over the hour. This is a location which provides the tranquil village life with excellent access to Suffolk and Norfolk and the delights they have to offer such as the pretty market down of Bury st Edmunds and the cathedral city of Norwich.
