The Hen House first opened its doors in May 2001, right in the heart of the historic market town of Southwell, Nottinghamshire.

From the beginning, our focus has been on offering vintage and antique pieces that are not only full of character, but genuinely useful.

Every item we sell – from furniture to homeware – is chosen with practicality in mind. These are pieces made to be lived with and loved for years to come, not just admired.

Whether you’re furnishing a home, finding a unique gift, or just browsing for inspiration, we believe in good, honest things that stand the test of time.
