Description

The Sellers View
When we first moved to Hermits Close, we were struck by its peaceful and serene atmosphere. It felt like a retreat from the hustle and bustle, with the occasional sound of wildlife and the fresh air to enjoy. On warm days, we could leave the windows open and bask in the tranquillity—a rare kind of quiet.

Although technically part of an estate, the house feels very private, tucked away in a cul-de-sac within a cul-de-sac. To the right, there's a small wooded area with a charming path to explore. A short stroll away, you'll find a duck pond and expansive woods—a favourite spot for evening walks. The woods even lead to the local shop, perfect for a quick errand or an ice cream on sunny days.

This location is incredibly convenient. Within a short walk are essentials like the vet, doctor, pharmacy, dentist, hairdresser, greengrocer, bakery, and a cosy coffee shop. For families, excellent schools such as The Willink School are nearby, along with parks for children of all ages and a field just three minutes from the house for playtime.

One highlight has been the Burghfield Common allotment, a welcoming community within walking distance. You can reach it through the woods or along the road, passing the Post Office, petrol station, and village hall. The village hall hosts groups, yoga sessions, and events like Burghfield on Ice. Local events such as Box Kart racing, the Guide Dogs open day, and charity events by the “Burghfield Santas” add to the charm.

The cul-de-sac is friendly and close-knit. Neighbours often lend a hand or share a chat during gatherings arranged by the neighbourhood watch leader. It’s a place where connections are easily made.

Living here has been a joy, and the memories we’ve made will stay with us forever. We’re confident the next residents will love it as much as we have.

The Agents View
This house has the potential to be a forever home for many. It strikes the perfect balance between family-friendly convenience and the charm of a semi-rural lifestyle. Already offering fantastic space, there’s even more potential to unlock. The current owners have secured planning permission to extend the kitchen, creating a stunning open-plan space with a lantern roof and bifold doors.

The garden is another standout feature, with a sunken seating area at the far end that offers complete privacy. While the property is not overlooked as it stands, this thoughtful design ensures an extra sense of seclusion.

The Area View
Hermits Close provides convenient access to a range of amenities, making it an excellent choice for families with children. Educational facilities are well catered for, with Garland Junior School just a 16 minute walk away, Mrs Bland's Infant School located less than a mile from the property, and The Willink School – a secondary school rated 'Good' by Ofsted – approximately 0.8 miles away.

Healthcare needs are easily met at Burghfield Health Centre, which is conveniently situated nearby. For recreation, the Willink Leisure Centre offers excellent facilities, including a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, outdoor sports areas, and a gym. The area is further enriched by several parks and green spaces, providing abundant opportunities for outdoor activities.

Transport links are highly accessible. Mortimer Station, approximately an 8 minute drive away, provides services on the Reading to Basingstoke line. Alternatively, Aldermaston and Theale Train Stations, a 9 and 12 minute drive respectively, offer direct trains to London Paddington at various times throughout the day. For road travel, Junction 11 of the M4 can be reached in about 10 minutes, subject to traffic conditions.

The local community is supported by a variety of shops, including a Tesco Express and a Co-op supermarket, ensuring that daily essentials are always within easy reach.
