Burton-upon-Trent
Conveniently located between Stafford and Derby, Burton-upon-Trent is a gloriously historic town, surrounded by hills and fields, just a stone’s throw from the Peak District National Park. Well known for its brewing history, the rise of the railways took their ales nationwide and as far afield as India.
Today, our new home development has excellent rail links to Derby and Birmingham – both under 20 minutes – with great roads nearby. There's a good selection of schools and healthcare facilities as well as great shopping at Coopers Square, The Octagon and Burton Place. There’s an outdoor market, plenty of supermarkets and convenience stores. And, if you fancy a night out, you'll be spoilt for choice with pubs, bars and eateries. A new build in Burton upon Trent really is a great place to call home.
