Flooded with light, cohesive and bright, and just a short stroll from the pub,school, park and playground, Stabekk is a home ready to evolve into its next chapter.

Heart of the village

Nestled in the heart of Norley, a thriving Cheshire village with an active and friendly local community, Stabekk is set back from Hough Lane, tucked behind a mature screen of shrubs and hedging.

Parking is available on the driveway and in the two-car garage, whilst to the left, steps lead up and through a lush front garden featuring tiered lawns and flourishing floral borders, where the winding paved path culminates at the front door.

Wide and welcoming, the spacious porch offers all the space needed for wellies, prams, bikes and more, while the inner glazed door opens to a big and bright entrance hall, the hub of the home, interconnecting the main entertaining spaces and bedrooms.

Functionality and flow

A home with fantastic flow, on the left arrive at the first of four bedrooms, where a wide window provides colourful views out over the private front garden, expertly tended and nurtured over decades. Two built-in wardrobes provide plenty of storage.

Turning right from the entrance hall, step through into the kitchen, where two wide windows overlook the garden to the front, inviting abundant light. Built-in cabinetry ensures plenty of storage for all the essential culinary gadgets, with plumbing for a dishwasher. Currently furnished with a convection oven and built-in microwave, the chalet style wooden ceiling serves as a nod to the heritage of the home.

Room to grow

Leading off from the kitchen, the glazed door opens to the lounge, retaining a constant sense of light. Spacious and central, with leafy views out over the impressive rear garden, a 1970s-style fireplace featuring a curved corner hearth captures a retro-rustic vibe that pairs perfectly with the chalet-style kitchen.

Amplifying the versatility and potential of Stabekk, to the right, glazed doors open to another substantially sized reception room with glorious garden views, ideal as a play room, family room or dining room.

Peacefully positioned to the rear of the home, the master bedroom is a restful retreat, brimming with storage and with plenty of room to exhale and take in the tranquil views across the landscaped garden and lush green lawn.

Conveniently close by, the bathroom is just next door, with cream tiles, heated towel radiator, wash basin, WC and bath fitted with overhead shower.

Bedtime beckons

Back in the entrance hall, the open tread staircase revives the retro feel of the home, ascending to the first-floor gallery landing, where to the left, a large double bedroom nestles beneath the high slope of the eaves, again brimming with fitted wardrobes and drawers and offering views out over the garden below.

Across the landing, a fourth bedroom beckons, cosy and quiet, sharing in the elevated views out over the sizeable garden which reaches out to a small stream at its furthest edges. Fitted storage can be found once again, with one cupboard door opening to reveal access through into the attic where even more space for suitcases and Christmas decorations awaits.

Both bedrooms share access to a handy bathroom with wash basin and WC, where a large picture window frames watercolour views of the flowers and foliage of the mature garden below.

English country garden

Outside, the garden is a hidden oasis, stretching out in a long, mature sweep – a space made for exploration for both young and older generations. Established trees and flowering shrubs shape quiet corners, while colour pops throughout from seasonal planting. A hidden greenhouse, once used to grow strawberries and raspberries, still stands for those seeking homegrown living.

At the far end, a tributary stream borders the boundary, its slow trickle marking the edge of a wild, pond-dotted pocket. With a gardener’s loo tucked discreetly by the utility room, where there is plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, and plenty of space for den building, hideouts or horticulture, it’s a garden that invites both play, pottering and relaxation.

Out and about

Nestled in one of Cheshire’s sought-after settings, Norley offers the kind of village life that still centres around community - from coffee mornings at the village hall to gatherings at the local pub or Sunday services at one of the two churches.

Norley Church of England Primary School is conveniently close for families, just across the road, in a village where everything sits within reach. The local shop is only a short stroll away, whilst for a weekend thirst-quencher, the Tiger’s Head Inn is just a stroll away up the hill.

For young families, the children’s playground, park and bowling green provide welcoming green space.

Delamere Forest lies just beyond the village for woodland walks and outdoor adventures, while the many neighbouring villages offer a wider choice of pubs, cafés and restaurants. Northwich, just 20 minutes away, covers everyday needs with high street shops and secondary schools also close at hand – with primary, secondary and independent options in nearby Weaverham, Hartford and Helsby.

With its fluid layout and solid footprint, Stabekk is a home that functions seamlessly, defined by its clear sense of space and flow. Retro in places, with a chalet-like charm, Stabekk is ready for its next chapter - whether refreshed, reimagined or simply enjoyed as it stands. Ideal for young families or those seeking village life with a rural rhythm, Stabekk is a home that blends practicality with possibility.
