The Borough of Oldham, situated on the edge of the Pennine moorland and the Peak District, is a Borough of fascinating contrast with craggy outcrops, peaceful river valleys, secluded canal side meadows and lively town centres.

An historic mill town, birthplace to many past and present famous faces, the town now covers 55 square miles. Two-thirds of the Borough remains open countryside even though Oldham town is just 7 miles from Manchester city centre.

Oldham offers a varied housing market. Whether it’s a cottage in the country, sturdy terrace, modern detached house, contemporary converted mill or canal side mews; there’s something to suit every taste and budget. All are served by a wide range of amenities, leisure and recreational facilities. Oldham’s educational establishments are amongst the highest performing in the sub-region.
