About Diss
Diss is a charming market town built around a six-acre natural lake known as the Mere. The town has a delightfully unspoilt centre packed with timber-framed buildings, narrow lanes and independent shops. The poet John Skelton was rector of Diss in the early 16th century, and the town was a favourite of John Betjeman, who described it as a 'perfectly preserved market town'. Diss sits on the Norfolk–Suffolk border and is well connected by rail to Norwich, Ipswich and London. The local economy is rooted in agriculture and small business, and the town hosts a busy weekly market. Many Diss properties are listed buildings or sit within conservation areas, which means handyman work here often calls for traditional materials and a sympathetic touch.
