Misery Corner doesn't give you much to go on, and that's worth being honest about rather than papering over. There's no street-level detail here — no crime figures, no school Ofsted ratings, no transport links, no housing sales on record for this specific hamlet — which is not unusual for a settlement this small, but it does mean the usual close-up picture isn't available.
What we can say sits at the district level. Misery Corner falls within South Norfolk, where the typical house price is a little over £295,000, itself below the regional median of £330,000 for the East of England — so this pocket of Norfolk reads as more affordable than the region around it, in keeping with the quieter, rural character that a "hamlet" designation implies. Nationally, the East of England tends to run slightly older in median age and slightly less densely populated than the country as a whole, which fits the general pattern of small Norfolk settlements: sparse, agricultural, and a fair distance from the nearest larger town's amenities.
Beyond that district-level price comparison, there isn't enough here to responsibly describe the streetscape, the schools, the commute, or the day-to-day rhythm of life in Misery Corner itself. Rather than invent texture the data doesn't support, it's fairer to say this: if you're weighing up a move here, the district-level affordability relative to the wider region is a genuine, useful signal, but you'll want to look at the immediate roads, the nearest villages, and local school catchments directly before deciding — this overview simply doesn't have the granularity to answer the rest.
