The Flour Mills, Burton-On-Trent

Welcome to 14 Mill Yard on the highly regarded Flour Mills development, tucked behind secure gated access. As you head down the private drive, you’ll pass parts of local history, including the original flour mill buildings, machinery and bridges and open views across the River Trent and the countryside beyond.

Communal gardens wrap around the setting, reinforcing the sense that you’ve stepped into something more relaxed and tucked away.

Mill Yard is somewhere that feels a million miles away, yet it isn’t. In reality, you’re just a short stroll or drive from Burton town centre, with its brilliant mix of cafés, shops, riverside walks, and green spaces, but once inside this gated community, it feels as though you are on a peaceful retreat. There’s a train station close by offering direct routes across the region and beyond, and excellent road links via the A38 make commuting to Derby, Lichfield, or Birmingham really straightforward.

The home itself has a lovely blend of old and new — rooted in local history but full of modern convenience. The property is a smart, contemporary end-mews style home with an open outlook to the front and a fantastic first-floor balcony overlooking the river — perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Step inside and the layout is full of character and versatility. The ground floor has a garage part converted into a gym, as well as a utility and stairs up to the living accommodation. To the middle floor you are met by a landing area leading to a dining kitchen, cloakroom WC, and a lounge with ample space plus access via French doors to the balcony overlooking countryside and the river. There are stairs up to the sleeping quarters — a master bedroom with en-suite, second double bedroom, third single bedroom and a modern family bathroom.

This is one of those homes that needs to be experienced in person. Step through the gates — and step into something unexpectedly special.
