The house, near the Suffolk coast, was designed in 1772 by John Carr of York (1723-1807) for the Revd. Richard Frank. Perhaps Carr's best known work is the Crescent in Buxton. The interior with its fine proportioned reception rooms had its first “makeover” in the Regency period, and remained the property of the Church until it was sold in 1932 to the family who own it today.
Alderton lies between the Heritage Coast and the Deben estuary in an area known locally as the “Peninsula” and is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a pub, The Swan and an excellent village shop/Post Office. Close by is a highly recommended riverside pub, the Ramsholt Arms, and in the next door village, Shottisham, with an equally recommended pub, The Sorrel Horse.
This is a great area for birdwatching, walking, shooting in season, bicycling, horse riding, antique collecting, golf and sailing.
Nearby is the attractive market of Woodbridge; the riverside village of Orford with its medieval castle and Snape with the famous Maltings Concert Hall and excellent shops. Slightly further afield are: the renowned bird sanctuary of Minsmere and the fashionable seaside towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold.
