A former police station in Greater Manchester is currently up for sale and some think it's giving 'really creepy' vibes.

Built in 1887, this Victorian building in Marple once served as the town’s operational police station, as the interior - though stripped down - still clearly shows what it was used for.

According to the listing on Rightmove, it has full planning permission to be converted into a two-bedroom home. While the remaining cells are small and eerie, they're unusually well-preserved and could possible add a bit of an edge to what one day could be a decent residential conversion.

Over on TikTok, however, an account named 'Housing Horrors' found the whole layout 'really creepy'.

"Now inside, it's got fully blown cells in there," he said in a recent video. "It's going for a 165k. Wait for it. Because this looks like some kind of interrogation room.

"I've never seen anything quite like it, but wait for because these are the cells and are my days. What an absolute state."

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, he goes on to say that as you 'maneuver through the property, it gets worse and worse'.

"Look at that. Safe to say, I would never wanna be locked up in this place. You would never bloody come out." the TikToker said.

"Here we got another angle of it. Honestly, it looks barren. It's abandoned. It hasn't been touched in year."

Well, it's Zoopla listing insists that there's enough room for 'Two generously sized bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom'.

"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," it adds.

People in the comments were divided over the potential home, as one person said: "It's deffo haunted."

A second also realised: "No way. This is so near me. Just in the next village."

Meanwhile, others were pretty keen on the home, as they saw a lot of 'potential' for the price.

"£165k in Marple is good though," a third person commented, while a fourth wrote: "Near me and I've always always wanted to see inside so thanks."

"My dream house," another insisted, as someone else thought: "Airbnb would make a killing."

The property itself is being sold via online auction and could be a decent restoration project for the right person.
