Village Life, Modern Living The charming Parish of Burghfield could be the ideal choice for your next house move. Steeped in history that goes back to Roman days, the village offers all the comforts of a safe and pleasant community, natural surroundings and easy access to London and Reading. Based just south of beautiful woodlands, Burghfield Common offers a beautiful collection of 4 and 5 bedroom houses suited to families, couples and those looking to upsize locally. Downsizers will find an area offering modern amenities, great schools and open spaces where everyone can breathe fresh air and run free. Picture yourself in your new maintenance-free home, strolling to the local shops, sharing a nice bottle in the local pub or taking long walks by rivers and lakes. Whether you have children or are planning for the future, it’s a superb place for them to grow up and appreciate that there’s more to life than concrete and steel. Why compromise on quality of life and a successful career? You can have it all at Burghfield Common. 03 Family Living Burghfield is a great place to bring up children. There are a number of nurseries and schools in the vicinity, including church schools, private schools and playgroups. The Willink secondary school has been run by just four headteachers since it opened in the 1950s and is also home to a local leisure centre where everyone can keep fit and healthy. The local woodland and surrounding area gives children the chance to appreciate nature first-hand as they grow up – a rare privilege in modern day Britain. At the same time they won’t be cut off from modern culture with easy access to Reading and its wide array of shops, restaurants and cafés. Excellent transport links mean plenty of options for trips out and shared moments.

You’ll be within walking distance of facilities including the convenience of a Tesco Express and the charm of family-run village stores, greengrocers, a bakery, chemists, a vet and even a pet shop. The local Post Office is a great place to run into neighbours, or maybe you’ll be doing laps together at the local swimming pool. The village hall is the focal point for everyone to get together and enjoy a range of activities that further strengthen the sense of community. If you want to leave the car at home, the regular bus service takes you to and from Reading town centre making it easy to go for a big shop or catch the latest films at the cinema. For those lazy Sundays when all you want is a decent roast, you’re only a short drive away from some classic country pubs where the welcome is as hearty as the food. 06 07 Natural Living Burghfield Common is at the heart of an area of rolling wooded countryside where you and the family can explore lakes, marshland and willow scrub. Walks are made easy with a number of footpaths and bridleways across the fields and through the woods. There are a number of other paths and ‘cut-throughs’ allowing you to move freely around the parish, away from motorised traffic. On your journey you’ll also see a wide variety of cattle, sheep and horses grazing on the grasslands. The extensive wetland area is now a haven for a wide range of water birds and other protected bird species, including buzzards and peregrine falcons. 08 09 Living History Burghfield was largely undeveloped until the 1980s when the M4 motorway opened up the village to the outside world. A mainly farming community was invigorated by the gravel extraction industry, the legacy of which is a series of water parks that provide happy weekenders with the opportunity to sail and water ski. The village is a charming place to live with much of its original character still in place. Thatched houses, historic churches, quaint gates and olde worlde pubs means that you can put the stresses of 21st century life behind when you need to relax and recuperate. 10 0911 A Great Network Burghfield Common is well placed for a number of major roads, stations and neighbouring towns. The Collection is ideally located for the M4, giving easy access to London and the West Country. The adjacent village, Mortimer, benefits from a rail station which is a two-stop journey to Reading with direct links to London Paddington in only 25 minutes. Reading is 5.8 miles away and Theale is 3.5 miles away, both offering a wide range of local amenities.

Relax in the charming Hatch Gate Inn dating from the 16th century where oak beams and a warming fireplace make it the ideal place to see out the long winter months. In the summer, children can play happily in the large garden. The Six Bells is equally as welcoming and has won recognition for its beers and hospitality. Don’t miss pie and pudding evening on Wednesdays. For those who like something more exotic, the recently opened Bangladeshi Bahgecha restaurant has quickly become a favourite with the locals. Burghfield Spice has been called the‘ Best Indian Food in Berkshire’ by visitors and El Mexicana offers hand-made food and excellent burritos. Kids love fast food right? Don’t worry you can give them the occasional treat at the nearby Burger King or KFC. And there’s a Gregg’s for those working from home and needing a quick but satisfying lunch. In short, Burghfield Common offers a feast for the eyes and a feast for the stomach. 14 0915 Show home photography taken from a previous development.
