New build homes in Burton-on-Trent

Burton-on-Trent offers a prominent, highly functional location on the eastern boundary of Staffordshire, offering a practical base for professionals who work across the Midlands.

We invite you to explore our current new build developments in Burton-on-Trent listed below to find a home that’s right for you.

What is the history of Burton-on-Trent?

Burton-on-Trent is distinguished globally for its role in the British brewing history. This identity, cemented during the late 19th century, comes from the local water supply containing calcium sulphate, which is a key element in the refinement of pale ale.

The wealth generated during this period of rapid expansion left a permanent footprint across the town, which is highly visible today through the solid Victorian brickwork, the converted maltings, and Bass water tower.

What are the best things to do in Burton-on-Trent?

The River Trent is the central feature of the area, with the Trent Washlands providing open green spaces that extend through the town to offer dedicated tracks for running, cycling or walking along the riverbanks.

If you have an interest in the mechanics of the past, you can visit the Claymills Victorian Pumping Station, an industrial site from the 1880s that still houses the original steam-powered engines and Sinai Park for a look into the medieval times via a timber-framed manor house. If you’re looking for opportunities to exercise outdoors, Branston Water Park is a nature reserve with designated walking routes around a large lake, and Shobnall Leisure Complex has an all-weather athletics track, floodlit tennis courts and fitness equipment.

Additionally, you won't need to travel far to reach the National Forest Adventure Farm, which gives you entry to a network of woodland trails and cycling paths that reach the wider Staffordshire and Derbyshire landscape.

Where are the best places to shop and eat in Burton-on-Trent?

Burton-on-Trent is proudly home to both Coopers Square and The Octagon Shopping Centre and both of which accommodate a selection of high-street brands. These modern amenities are perfectly complimented by the historic indoor market hall and regular open-air street markets, which allow you to buy fresh produce directly from regional farms, as well as speciality items.

The local dining options reflect a similar level of quality, highlighted by 99 Station Street, which delivers an award-winning modern British menu, and The Restaurant at The Dial, which provides contemporary dining within a sophisticated modern interior. Reflecting the local production history, venues like The Long Hop on the riverfront offer refined spaces for traditional dining, while nearby villages feature historic options such as The Spread Eagle in Rolleston-on-Dove.
