The Hen House

About this property

The Hen House is a well-presented house in Middleton, Norfolk. Boasting a roof terrace wth serene views, an enclosed garden and proximity to amenities, this pet-friendly abode is suited to families seeking a tranquil escape in Norfolk. Set within an impressive three-acre setting where chickens potter nearby and the space around you instantly feels open and restorative. Arrive to plenty of parking, then follow a gravel path that leads you to the entrance, taking in the grounds as you go, with a pond edged by trees and a picnic bench creating a lovely first impression before you even step inside. Open the door and you enter through a tiled conservatory, an inviting spot to drop your bags, kick off your shoes, and settle in on the sofa with the Smart TV on in the background while the kettle goes on.

From here, wander through into the kitchen and dining area, where a contemporary finish and a practical layout make it a pleasure to spend time together. This is the kind of space that encourages slow breakfasts and shared suppers, with the range cooker ready for hearty meals, the fridge freezer set for stocking up on local treats, and the dishwasher taking care of the clear-up while you linger at the table with plans for the next day. Off the kitchen, the ground-floor twin bedroom feels neat and welcoming, ideal for children, friends, or anyone who fancies easy access to the main living spaces.

It comes with the added convenience of its own en-suite walk-in shower room, perfect for quick rinses after a day out, and a Smart TV for winding down with a favourite series. The king-size bedroom offers a relaxing retreat with its own TV and en-suite walk-in shower room, giving everyone their own space to reset, whether you are getting ready for a busy morning or taking your time over a slower start. When you are ready to gather, head up the carpeted stairs to the first-floor mezzanine-level sitting room, where the layout lends itself to relaxed evenings. Sink into the corner sofa, put a film on the large Smart TV, or stretch out with a book while conversation drifts easily across the space.

Then, slide open the patio doors and step out onto the roof terrace, a standout spot with a lawn and outdoor sofa, where serene views over the garden, trees, and countryside make an easy backdrop for morning coffee, an afternoon pause in the fresh air, or a sundowner as the light softens in the west. Steps lead down to another seating area and access to an enclosed grass space, giving you even more room to make the most of being outdoors, especially if you are bringing two dogs along for the adventure. When it is time to explore beyond the grounds, you are well placed for easy days out.

A shop and pub are within walking distance, handy for picking up essentials or heading out for a relaxed drink without needing to drive. For a seaside change of scene, Hunstanton is within an hour, where you can spend time on the wide sands, watch the striped cliffs glow as the day turns, and enjoy the classic seaside atmosphere with plenty to keep everyone entertained. King’s Lynn also sits within easy reach, offering historic streets to wander, an appealing riverside for a gentle stroll, and a mix of independent shops and places to stop for something tasty. Sandringham Estate makes a rewarding outing too, with woodland walks that suit all ages, open parkland that invites a long roam, and an elegant setting that feels steeped in local heritage.

Escape to The Hen House, where gardens, open skies, and easy coastal days come together.

A small hamlet just 4 miles from the maritime town and harbour of Falmouth. The surrounding countryside offers rolling fields, country lanes and misty, atmospheric creeks that wind their way inland from the sea through deep, wooded valleys. The area is perfect for lovers of breathtaking countryside, for enjoying time in boats and for long country walks. Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches will keep you occupied for hours. Its old harbour-side pubs, excellent shopping, Pendennis Castle and the stunning new National Maritime Museum complete the picture. Across the harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by the rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. Go there by car (15 miles) or take the passenger ferry from Falmouth (15 minutes).
