Wardle is a large village in Rochdale, set on the hillside above the town with views across the valley. The housing includes Victorian stone terraces in the older village centre around Wardle Road and Birch Road, and a mix of interwar and post-war semis on the surrounding residential streets as you descend towards Rochdale. The elevated position and stone-built character of many Wardle properties — particularly those in the upper village — can mean more complex internal staircase layouts than you would find in the flat terrace belt of the valley below.
