Description
Lying alongside the River Trent, and just yards from the Trent and Mersey Canal with its colourful leisure craft, Fillybrooks is a prestigious new neighbourhood of exceptional distinction. Attractively landscaped around a tree-lined community space, the development combines the appeal of its rural ambience with a surprisingly convenient location just fifteen minutes drive from Stafford or Stoke-on-Trent.

Leisure facilities
Stone straddles the Trent and Mersey Canal, now the focal point for a wide range of leisure activities. Narrowboats are available for hire, allowing you to explore much of the surrounding area at a leisurely pace, while the towpaths and the countryside around the town offer great scope for walking and cycling. The many visitor attractions in easy reach include the Wedgwood Visitor Centre, Trentham Gardens and the fascinating Shugborough Hall where the life of a historic country estate has been recreated. The recently revamped Alleyne’s Sports Centre, less than a mile from the development, includes a floodlit synthetic pitch, a range of grass pitches, tennis courts, a 25m swimming pool, squash courts and a sports hall, whilst its companion site at Westbridge Park provides gymnasium and fitness facilities. Stone Golf Club is only a few minutes’ walk away, and the town has a wide selection of popular bars and restaurants, with live music and entertainment available most nights. Stone also hosts an annual food and drink festival.

About Miller Homes
Our background
Miller Homes, part of the Miller Group, is the nation’s largest privately-owned housebuilder. Since 1934 we have completed over 60,000 homes, and established ourselves as one of the top three housebuilders in Scotland and the North East of England, and top ten in the UK as a whole.
In 2000 we re-invented ourselves with a new image, a portfolio of new house-types, new locations in which to build and a new customer care programme. The quality and value of our product range has since shown dramatic improvement with our average selling price increasing from £74,000 in 1999 to £164,000 in 2008.
Our customer focus
Through our established customer care programme we pledge to communicate effectively and always deliver what we promise, without fail. Month on month, we have seen a massive improvement in overall satisfaction and in our most recent survey, conducted in 2009, 97% of our customers state they would happily recommend Miller Homes to their best friend.
We understand the experience of the customer journey and acknowledge that buying a house can be an anxious time – as a result, we have introduced several initiatives to help our customers through the whole process.
Our commitment to quality

In addition, two Site Managers won a Gold and a Silver award in the Chartered Institute of Builders’ Construction Manager of the Year awards. These awards act as further incentive for striving to achieve the best in everything we do. Miller Homes will continue to develop new product designs in response to Government planning legislation and to the changes in consumer lifestyle which will never stop presenting our industry with fresh and exciting challenges.
