Property buyers have the rare chance to live in one of Greater Manchester's quirkiest buildings - an electricity substation.
The substation, which is now redundant, is going up for auction next month with a guide price of £35,000.
Auction house Pugh have described the building as a 'great' potential development opportunity.
The building is located on Audley Avenue, in Stretford, and is on a site measuring 2,400 sq ft.

A previous owner was granted planning permission to demolish the single-storey building and replace it with a new residential property.
The planning consent has since lapsed and the new potential owner will have to apply again if they want to develop the site.
Paul Thompson, managing director of Pugh auction house, said: “The substation is in a good location in a residential neighbourhood, with the green space of Lostock Park nearby, and just a stone’s throw from junction 9 of the M60.
“As the planning consent has now lapsed, up-to-date permission would of course need to be obtained by any prospective buyer but the substation, or the site itself, represents a great opportunity to develop new residential accommodation in Stretford.”
The property will be auctioned at the AJ Bell Stadium, in Manchester, on December 3.
