For those seeking a new home that is convenient from a business point of view as well as a family perspective, Rochdale may prove the ideal choice.
The town has a growing economy and boasts a range of quality and affordable properties, all located in a landscape characterised by rolling countryside. It is also well served by transport links, being straddled by three major motorways.
For those who work in Manchester, it is only a 12-mile commute, meaning you will not have to spend too long travelling to and from the office. In addition, it is only a short drive to both Leeds and Liverpool and the West Coast Main Line, which runs through Manchester, connects travellers to London Euston in just over two hours.
Meanwhile, there are also plenty of jobs available in Rochdale itself, with one of the country's largest commercial developments being situated there. The Kingsway Business Park contains a variety of firms.
The area is not solely geared towards work either, with a variety of shops and other amenities based in its three town centres. A range of pubs, restaurants, hotels and shops can be accessed at these hubs. As a result, those keen to engage in some retail therapy or other leisure pursuit will not be disappointed.
For a taste of the outdoor life, moorland and nature reserves can be accessed and they offer activities ranging from watersports to country walks and golf.
Those keen to make the most of the opportunities a life in Rochdale could offer may wish to take advantage of property deals being offered by Persimmon Homes.
It is providing buyers with the chance to have their stamp duty covered. People who reserve their home before February 28th will have the one per cent levy covered and will only be expected to pay a £1 reservation fee.
Among the houses on offer are those at the Newlands development. For example, properties are available at Rockley priced at £114,495. Located a mile and a half from the Hollingworth Lake area of Littleborough, this location has an abundance of woodland to walk through.
