Alder Carr Farm is a rare, fully renovated 17th‑century farmhouse arranged around a private paved courtyard and set within about two acres of landscaped grounds. The principal house (c.4,000 sq ft) and a substantial three‑bed barn annexe (c.1,000 sq ft) create flexible live‑in and income possibilities — ideal for multi‑generational households or buyers seeking a high‑end rural base. Sustainable upgrades, including solar panels, a battery bank and an air‑source heat pump, help deliver an A EPC rating despite the property’s solid brick construction.
Interiors combine period character with contemporary comfort: exposed timbers, oak windows and natural stone sit alongside open‑plan kitchen/garden rooms, formal receptions and a principal suite with vaulted ceiling, balcony and luxury en‑suite. Practical spaces include a dedicated home office with private entrance, two fully equipped kitchens, a gym, sauna and salon. The converted barn provides independent three‑bedroom accommodation with its own study — excellent for guests, staff, rental income or separate family use.
Outside, mature specimen trees, lawns, fruit trees and tree‑lined boundaries ensure privacy and rural outlooks; the in‑out driveway and ample parking suit frequent visitors or leisure vehicles. The location in Carleton Rode offers village tranquillity while remaining within driving distance of Norwich and rail links; note Stansted is roughly 75 minutes by road and Diss station provides faster rail access to London.
Important practical points: the property is freehold with private water supply and drainage to an on‑site treatment plant. Heating includes an air source heat pump, LPG‑fired boiler/radiators and electric underfloor heating. Council Tax is Band F (expensive). Mobile signal is average and the setting is in a remoter community — excellent for privacy but less convenient for daily urban commuting.
