The Old Mill, The Flour Mills, Burton-On-Trent

Welcome to ‘The Old Mill’ 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 isn’t.

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.
