A family home in what could be Oldham’s "most prestigious location" has been put up for sale for less than £1m.

The five-bedroom detached Royton manor has been listed on the market by estate agency Alistair Stevens for £825,000.

Located on Tandle Hill Road, which according to property expert Elise Holt, is “undoubtedly Royton's most prestigious location”, it offers views of the open countryside.

Walking through the front gardens to the double-doored entrance, guests open into a spacious porch which in turn opens into a lavish entrance hall - larger than most bedrooms.

A door to the left takes visitors into the living room, which has a beautiful seating area fitted around its bay windows, along with two chandeliers and a fireplace.

Walking back into the entrance hall, the door to the right leads guests into its grand dining room which has access to the butler's pantry and the kitchen/diner from there.

Inside the kitchen, a large island, perfect for hosting guests, can be found with an aga and a built-in seated accompanying it.

The kitchen flows into another sitting room which has access to the large patioed garden, overlooking the countryside, as well as access to the downstairs toilet through a small hallway and a utility room off that.

Back at the entrance to this property, which has an 896 year lease left with ground rent of just £14 annually, the stairs lead up to five spacious double bedrooms.

The master bedroom has a large ensuite, while the other four share a communal bathroom with the toilet positioned next door to it, and by the stairway is access to a balcony.

“It has spacious superbly appointed accommodation that comprises to the ground floor - entrance porch, entrance reception area, living room, formal dining room, butler's pantry, Clive Christian fitted kitchen/diner, sitting room, inner hallway with a utility room and toilet.
