Nestled in the heart of the Staffordshire countryside, Yoxall is a picturesque village that blends historic charm with modern convenience. With J&K Developments currently building two exclusive 4-bedroom homes named Isabella Homes – this sought-after location, there’s never been a better time to explore why Yoxall could be the perfect place for your next move. From its welcoming community to its tranquil surroundings and fantastic local amenities, here are five compelling reasons to make Yoxall your home.
1. A Warm and Welcoming Village Community
With a population of just under 1,900, Yoxall is the kind of place where neighbours know your name and community spirit runs deep. Known for its friendly residents and strong village identity, Yoxall offers a sense of belonging that’s hard to find in larger towns or cities. The village is home to an active Foresters Scout Group, regular community events, and a well-supported parish council that helps keep the village thriving.
It’s the perfect setting for families, retirees, or professionals looking for peace, safety, and a genuine sense of community.
2. Excellent Local Amenities and Education
Yoxall may be a small village, but it punches well above its weight when it comes to amenities. Yoxall St Peter’s Primary School, founded in 1901, continues to serve as a hub of early education in the area. The school has a strong reputation for nurturing young learners in a caring, community-based environment—an important factor for families considering the move.
There are also local shops, a post office, and other everyday essentials, all within easy reach. And for those who work further afield, Yoxall’s location provides excellent road links to Burton upon Trent, Lichfield, and beyond.
3. Places to Eat, Relax, and Explore
Yoxall is not only beautiful—it’s also brimming with things to see and do. Food lovers will enjoy local dining at the highly regarded Crown Inn, a traditional pub serving great food and warm hospitality right in the heart of the village.
Looking for a relaxing day out? Hoar Cross Hall, a luxury country spa resort just minutes away, offers indulgent treatments and peaceful surroundings. For outdoor fun, families and nature-lovers alike will enjoy visiting Branston Water Park, a scenic spot for walking, birdwatching and picnicking.
And just a short drive away, the powerful and moving National Memorial Arboretum provides a place of remembrance and reflection, surrounded by landscaped gardens and engaging exhibitions.
4. Rich History and Notable Residents
Yoxall has a proud history and has been home to several significant figures over the years. Among them are William Ferrers, a 13th-century nobleman, Thomas Gisbourne, a prominent 18th-century clergyman and MP, and James Thompson VC, a recipient of the Victoria Cross for bravery.
