Former police station in Manchester goes up for sale for £165,000 - but there's a VERY creepy catch
A chilling slice of British history is up for grabs as a 'creepy' former police station is up for sale for £165,000.
The historic property dating back to 1887, which was formerly Marple's local police station in Stockport, Manchester, has been listed on Rightmove and is being sold via online auction.
Steeped in history and brimming with character, the property, which currently has no electricity supply, benefits from approved planning permission to be transformed into a unique two-bedroom home.
While the property has the potential to be a decent restoration project for the right person, it's not for the faint of heart.
The disused station still features original cell doors, an interrogation room, barred windows, and questionable stains smeared across the walls.
This eerie, timeworn building comes complete with what some believe is 'smeared poo' on the walls and chilling cells that could easily be 'haunted' according to one TikToker.
Jack Bushrod, who runs the TikTok account @housinghorrors, found the whole layout 'really creepy'.
In a clip, which racked up over 65,000 views, he claimed he has never seen a property 'quite like it'.
He said: 'Safe to say I would never want to be locked up in this place. You would never bloody come out here.
He went into some detail on what the property looks like, with a 'toilet in the background' and what 'looks like someone's smeared poo on the bloody wall'.
However, as Jack went on to say that as you 'manoeuvre through the property, it gets worse and worse'.
He added: 'Honestly, it looks bad when it's abandoned. That hasn't been touched in years. And no wonder it's going for just £165,000.
'I don't wanna know what kind of criminals have been inside that house. Honestly, it just feels really creepy, really eerie.'
However many rushed to the comments and were impressed with the quirky property.
One person said: 'Thing is, if you've got the time & money that could probably be a nice house.'
Another added: 'Would make an interesting Airbnb!'

Someone else said: 'I think its cute i like it, lots of potential for cute cottage vibes.'
A fourth added: 'It's deffo haunted.'
Despite its rather grim current condition, including stained walls and rusting bars, it offers a rare chance to own a piece of history- if you're willing to look past the creepy décor.
The Rightmove listing states: 'The proposed floor plan includes converting the property into a two storey home with an entrance hall, an open-plan living kitchen area, a downstairs WC, and two generously sized bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms.
'Externally, the property enjoys a decorative garden that wraps around the front, side, and rear, with the added advantage of off-road parking at the back.
'Proposed layout includes entrance hall, open-plan kitchen/living area, and downstairs WC. Off-road parking space located at the rear.'
