Homes in Uttoxeter
Uttoxeter is a market town in the Dove valley, home to JCB's headquarters at nearby Rocester and a well-known racecourse. Its centre has Georgian and Victorian buildings and some older timber-framed buildings, with Victorian terraces surrounding the centre. Some older buildings near the market place lean slightly and show signs of historic movement.
Inter-war and post-war homes fill much of the town, and newer developments have expanded it considerably in recent years. The River Dove and River Tean flow nearby, and low-lying areas are in the flood plain. Uttoxeter has a railway station on the Crewe to Derby line and is popular with commuters via the A50. Denstone and Rocester nearby offer older village homes. Many of the newer homes were built for buyers attracted by local employers, including JCB and the Alton Towers resort a few miles to the north.
Areas we cover include Bramshall, Stramshall, Rocester, Denstone, Doveridge.
