If you’re looking to make your home in a location steeped in history that offers a combination of low house prices, good pubs, shopping and excellent road networks, then the town of Burton upon Trent is where you need to be.

Despite being able to trace its origins back to the days before William the Conqueror and the The Domesday Book, the modern Burton is still very much thriving today and Taylor Wimpey Midlands is building homes to match at its Regency Square development.

Situated just a short distance from Burton town centre on Horninglow Road North, this exciting new development offers an impressive selection of two, three and four bedroom homes priced to suit the tightest of budgets.

With prices for a three bedroom Wye style house currently starting from just £139,995*, with a deposit of just £7,000 required (through FirstBuy), Regency Square offers excellent value for money.

Anne Wallace, regional sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Midlands, said: "Burton upon Trent certainly isn’t a location to be overlooked when you’re deciding where to move to. Not only does it have bags of history and an abundance of charm, house prices are extremely reasonable so you can get plenty of space for your money. What’s more, the location of Regency Square makes you ideally placed to explore the stunning countryside and bigger cities that are all within reach.”

If you’re still not convinced then Taylor Wimpey has a list of reasons why you should make the move to Burton.

Location, Location, Location – set in the heart of the Midlands, Regency Square is well placed to take advantage of the wealth of countryside and cities on its doorstep. The A38 is just a few minutes away by car and this leads to the wider road network including the A50, M1 and M42 for access to Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham and beyond. If you prefer far flung destinations then East Midlands Airport is around 30 minutes away by car and the town also has a railway station. 

It has the best beer! - Burton has traditionally been associated with the brewing industry, due to the quality of the local water, and is widely known as 'The brewing capital of Great Britain'. The town, which accommodated more than a dozen breweries in its heyday, is still home to five brewers. 

Stunning scenery on the doorstep - as well as nestling on the River Trent, the town is set in the heart of the National Forest, with over seven million trees and 700 miles of paths to explore, covering an area of more than 200 square miles. The area is also packed with historic riches including Calke Abbey, Elvaston Castle, Catton Hall and Repton School. 

Award winning homes at excellent prices – finally, you can get plenty of house for your money at Regency Square and with a number of financial incentives, including the new FirstBuy scheme, to make it even more affordable why choose anywhere else?

FirstBuy works through a joint loan of 20% from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and Taylor Wimpey, which means that eligible purchasers only need put down a 5% deposit and obtain a 75% loan-to-value mortgage. The loan is repayable at the end of the 25 year mortgage term or when the property is sold. To be eligible, purchasers must be first time buyers and the total household earning should be less than £60,000.

Regency Square offers a collection of two, three and four bedroom homes in a convenient location in the delightful market town of Burton on Trent. There are numerous amenities on the doorstep including several specialist shops, a post office, library and supermarket.

There is currently a selection of three and four bedroom homes available with prices starting from just £139,995*.
