Master Listing, The Old Dairy, Hingham NR9

The old dairy

Clover House and Primrose House form an exclusive pair of newly built barn-style homes, quietly positioned within The Old Dairy, a small and considered development on the edge of Hingham. Approached via a shared private driveway, each property sits comfortably within its own plot of around half an acre (stms), enjoying open field views and a sense of space that is increasingly hard to find.

The design takes clear inspiration from traditional Norfolk barns, combining brick, flint and timber-clad elevations with a clean, modern finish. The result is a home that feels grounded in its setting, yet well suited to contemporary living. The generous footprint of approximately 2,912 sq. Ft. Allows for a layout that adapts easily to a range of lifestyles, whether for family living, multi-generational occupation or the need for dedicated work-from-home space.

The balance of accommodation has been carefully considered, with three bedrooms arranged across the ground floor and two further rooms above. This flexibility is complemented by light, open-plan living space designed for everyday use as much as for hosting, with a natural connection out to the surrounding gardens and countryside beyond.

The specification has been chosen with both practicality and finish in mind, including underfloor heating to the ground floor powered by an air source heat pump, alongside a well-appointed kitchen with quartz worktops and integrated appliances. Details such as black aluminium windows and doors, oak-framed double garages and electric roller doors reinforce the overall quality and consistency of the build.

Externally, each plot offers ample parking alongside the double garage, with space to accommodate additional vehicles if required. The gardens provide a straightforward canvas, ready to be shaped to suit individual preferences, while the surrounding rural outlook remains a constant feature.

The Old Dairy offers a setting that feels distinctly semi-rural, yet remains within easy reach of Hingham’s amenities and the wider road network. These homes will be ready for occupation in late summer, presenting an opportunity to secure a brand new property in a well-regarded Norfolk location without compromising on space or setting.

Hingham

Found on the edge of Hingham, The Old Dairy offers a setting which feels quietly removed, yet effortlessly connected. Surrounded by open countryside, this small and carefully planned development enjoys a sense of space and calm which defines day-to-day life here, while still being within easy reach of everything the town has to offer.

Hingham itself is one of Norfolk’s most attractive market towns, known for its handsome architecture, wide market square and strong sense of community. Independent shops, cafés and everyday essentials sit alongside a well-regarded school, making it a place that works as well in practice as it does on paper.

Life here moves at a considered pace. Morning walks across nearby fields, a short trip into town for coffee or provisions, and easy access out towards Wymondham, Norwich and the wider county all form part of the rhythm. For those needing to travel further afield, road links are straightforward, while Norwich provides rail connections and a broad range of amenities.

Positioned within this setting, The Old Dairy feels both private and part of its surroundings. It’s a place where the outlook is always open, the environment feels established, and the balance between countryside and convenience is naturally achieved.
