| 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. |
