Heywood Worktop Information

Heywood is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, about 4 miles south-west of Rochdale and 7 miles north of Manchester city centre. The OL10 postcode covers the town and the surrounding settlements. Heywood developed as a cotton textile town in the 19th century and the industrial heritage is reflected in the mill buildings and Victorian commercial stock. The town has 18 listed buildings, including a house at Old Birtle dated 1671 and a Grade II* listed church designed by the architect Edgar Wood. The Hopwood area in the south of OL10, on the boundary with the Bury BL9 postcode, has some of the most desirable residential addresses in the postcode, with substantial detached properties on generous plots available on Manchester Road and in the Hopwood Hall direction. The M62 junction 19 is accessible from the south of the OL10 postcode, giving Heywood motorway access to Manchester in around 20 minutes and to Leeds in around 35 minutes. Average house prices in OL10 run modestly below the Rochdale average, making Heywood a value-for-money entry into the Greater Manchester commuter market.

The Victorian terraces and the standard post-war semis across OL10 form the mainstream quartz market. These are practical Greater Manchester family homes where quartz suits the kitchen proportions and handles daily use without maintenance. Installed prices run from around £282 to £440 per square metre. Rochdale businesses cover OL10 from the north. Manchester businesses cover from the south. The substantial detached properties in the Hopwood area of OL10, and the larger owner-occupier properties in the better residential streets, are where granite finds its Heywood market. The Hopwood area on the Manchester Road, with some properties offering over 5,000 square feet on plots approaching 1.5 acres, represents the premium sub-market within OL10. Installed granite costs between £265 and £422 per square metre. STONE FOR HOPWOOD AND THE SOUTHERN OL10 PREMIUM ROADS: Hopwood, on the southern edge of Heywood approaching the BL9 Bury border, has a residential character distinct from the standard OL10 terrace and semi market.
