The village lies along a quiet country lane, nestled in the picturesque Upper Tas Valley, and is surrounded by beautiful rolling farmland. Aslacton Road offers scenic views to the front and rear, creating a peaceful and private environment. The area is well-connected, with a bus service running six days a week, providing direct routes to both Norwich and Diss, via Long Stratton. Families will appreciate the nearby Forncett Primary School, a charming village school with roots dating back to 1864. Only a 10-minute walk away, the local vineyard is the perfect place to unwind—whether you're sipping coffee on a quiet weekday or enjoying the buzz of a weekend crowd. It's a favorite gathering spot in the community.

The village is perhaps best known for its historic St. Peter’s Church, which dates back to the Saxon period and features a remarkable round tower. This Grade I listed building is an architectural gem, drawing attention from both locals and visitors alike. The town of Long Stratton, located just two miles away, provides everyday essentials including shops, resturants’s, a leisure centre, healthcare facilities, transport links and a secondary school, bringing both rural charm and modern convenience together.
