sed -n '0,/^house$/d;p' input.txt
You can do this easily with a Perl one-liner, which you can of course incorporate into a bash script.
$ perl -ne 'print if $ok; $ok=1 if /^house$/' sample.txt catdogetc
awk ' BEGIN { noprint = 1; cue = ARGV[1]; ARGV[1] = ""} (!noprint) { print } (noprint && $0 == cue) { noprint = 0 }' house textfile
