Description
Bank House is a beautifully restored 15th-century cottage nestled in the heart of Hingham, Norfolk. Perfect for families or friends, this pet-friendly retreat offers a woodburning stove, a private garden, and all the essentials just a short stroll away—including a welcoming pub and handy local shops. Being a historic home, it comes with a few delightful quirks—low beams, a sloping floor and a snug ceiling upstairs—all part of the charm of staying somewhere with centuries of character.
From the outside, its timber-framed façade and wattle and daub walls speak to its heritage. Inside, traditional craftsmanship and reclaimed materials have been used throughout to preserve its authenticity.
The kitchen/diner features rustic beams, a decorative inglenook fireplace and country-style fittings. Stock up the fridge/freezer and fire up the ceramic hob while the chef of the group whips up something tasty. Gather around the table to enjoy your meal and plan the day’s adventures—or break out a board game for some evening fun.
The sitting room is warm and inviting, with more exposed beams, a plush sofa, a soft rug and a crackling woodburning stove set in a brick inglenook fireplace. Settle in with a favourite film on the Smart TV or simply enjoy the glow of the fire.
Upstairs, the double bedroom boasts a large Georgian leaded window with garden views, exposed beams and a charming brick feature wall. The twin room features antique beds and bedside tables. Both rooms have wide English oak floorboards and thoughtfully chosen artwork.
The bathroom includes a restored roll-top bath, a walk-in shower for brisk mornings, and a WC with an antique high-level cistern.
Start your day with a cuppa in the peaceful courtyard, enjoy alfresco dining or fire up the tabletop barbecue. A second seating area under the willow tree offers a lovely spot to relax among fragrant wisteria, honeysuckle and jasmine.
Across the road, The White Hart serves excellent food and local ales. You’ll also find two cafés, a takeaway, a bakery with fresh bread and homemade cakes, plus a greengrocer, butcher, chemist and general store—everything you need is right on your doorstep.
Just a short walk away is Hingham’s picturesque marketplace, surrounded by Grade II listed Georgian buildings. Bank House is ideally placed for exploring Norfolk’s coastline and the famous Broads. Wroxham, the gateway to the Broads, is a short drive away and offers boat hire, river cruises, and waterside cafés.
Discover the North Norfolk coast with charming towns like Cromer, Wells, Brancaster, Blakeney and Great Yarmouth all within reach. Head to Thetford Forest for picnics, walking trails, and treetop adventures at Go Ape. From cycling and walking routes to fishing and golf, there’s plenty to enjoy right from your doorstep.
Bank House is a delightful base for discovering the beauty and history of Norfolk.
