With investors seeking higher rental yields from throughout the Greater Manchester region, the east Manchester suburb of Denton has increasingly appeared on the investors radar over the past 12 months. Convenient transport links such as the M60 motorway, and the A57 will take you straight to the city centre in just 20 minutes.
Denton’s popular town centre is home to a number of good schools, and the large Crown Point shopping centre is a major retail destination for the East Manchester region.
Situated approximately five miles east of Manchester city centre, Denton offers superb transport links to both the city centre and adjacent M60 motorway. Primarily a residential area, Denton offers substantial property options for people looking for more affordable housing in the Greater Manchester area. Following steady growth in recent years, the average price of a property in Denton now stands at just over £160,000.
Alongside the popular town centre of Denton, areas such as Haughton Green and Dane Bank have proven exceptionally popular with house buyers in recent years due to the good schools and transport links on offer.
After twinning with Montigny le Bretonneux, Denton was gifted with a French road sign stating the distance between the two towns, and this can be found at the side of the town hall. St Lawrence’s is the oldest church in Denton, dating back 500 years and is a Grade II listed building.
Cricket lovers can have some fun, with three semi-professional clubs being located in the area, all of which play in the Greater Manchester Cricket League, and the Denton Town Football Club can be found on the Whittles Park Estate. The town has a great footballing tradition, as it was the childhood home of England World Cup legend Sir Geoff Hurst.
For some retail therapy, look no further than the hugely popular Crown Point North shopping centre, which is home to a wide range of high street retailers.
There are a variety of chain restaurants and pubs in the area, including Harvest and Frankie & Benny’s.
