Most of these villages are away from the hustle and bustle of the big towns and cities, whilst at the same time never being too far away from one. This is the case with Dobcross, a small village close to Oldham.
A stunning property is on the market with Purple Bricks located in this village, which is a sought-after area. Surrounded by the rolling hills of the region, the home is available for £650,000.
There is plenty of privacy to be had, and a large garden and outdoor seating area will help you enjoy it. There are four generously sized bedrooms located across the floors of the house, with two having en-suite bathrooms.
The property is near plenty of local amenities, including schools and shops. Two village pubs are also located just a short walk away. Oldham town centre is around five miles away, with multiple bus routes serving Dobcross and connecting it with Oldham. Rochdale is also less than 10 miles away from the house.
