The village still retains good amenities by way of having a public house, fine church, convenience store and being within the Hartismere school catchment area. More facilities can be found a mile or so to the south within the villages of Rickinghall and Botesdale including an excellent medical centre. The historic market town of Diss lies 7 miles to the east providing a more extensive and diverse range of amenities and facilities along with a mainline railway station with regular/direct services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.
