Description

The Sellers View
When we first arrived in Hermits Close, we were immediately drawn to its calm and peaceful vibe. It truly felt like a quiet escape from the busyness of everyday life, where the only sounds were birdsong and the occasional rustle of wildlife. On warmer days, we’d open the windows and enjoy the stillness—something you rarely find.

While it sits within an estate, the house feels wonderfully secluded, tucked away in a cul-de-sac within a cul-de-sac. Just to the right is a small wooded area with a lovely path to wander through. Not far beyond is a duck pond and an extensive stretch of woodland—perfect for relaxed evening strolls. You can even follow the path through the woods to reach the local shop—ideal for a quick errand or a spontaneous ice cream run.

Everything you need is close by. Within walking distance are the vet, doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, dentist, hairdresser, greengrocer, bakery, and a welcoming coffee shop. Families will also appreciate the proximity to fantastic schools like The Willink, as well as parks for all ages and a field just a few minutes away for kids to run around in.

A real highlight has been the Burghfield Common allotment—a lovely, sociable community within easy reach. You can walk there via the woods or along the main road, passing the Post Office, petrol station, and village hall. The hall hosts local groups, yoga, and popular events like Burghfield on Ice. The area’s character is brought to life by community traditions like the Box Kart races, the Guide Dogs open day, and fundraisers run by the “Burghfield Santas.”

The cul-de-sac itself is welcoming and neighbourly. People look out for one another and often stop for a chat at informal get-togethers organised by our neighbourhood watch coordinator. It’s the kind of place where it’s easy to feel at home.

We’ve truly loved our time here, and we take with us so many fond memories. We’re sure the next owners will feel just as at home as we did.

The Agent's View
This property offers all the ingredients of a long-term family home, blending convenience with the semi-rural charm that makes Burghfield so popular. There’s already plenty of space on offer, but even more potential lies ahead. The current owners have obtained planning permission to extend the kitchen into a stunning open-plan area with a lantern roof and bifold doors—an exciting opportunity for future owners to make their mark.

The garden deserves special mention too. At the rear is a beautifully designed sunken seating area, tucked away for total privacy. The property isn’t overlooked, and this clever addition adds an extra layer of seclusion for outdoor living.

The Area View
Hermits Close is ideally situated for families, offering great access to local amenities and well-regarded schools. Garland Junior School is around a 16-minute walk away, Mrs Bland's Infant School is less than a mile from the doorstep, and The Willink School—rated 'Good' by Ofsted—is just 0.8 miles away.
Healthcare is well covered, with Burghfield Health Centre close by. For fitness and leisure, the Willink Leisure Centre provides a 25-metre swimming pool, gym, and various sports facilities. The area also boasts several parks and open spaces—perfect for outdoor adventures.

Transport links are excellent. Mortimer Station is roughly an 8-minute drive, offering services on the Reading–Basingstoke line. For broader connections, Aldermaston and Theale stations (9 and 12 minutes by car respectively) provide direct services to London Paddington at various times throughout the day. Junction 11 of the M4 is also around 10 minutes away, depending on traffic.

Day-to-day shopping is easy with local options like Tesco Express and the Co-op nearby, ensuring you’re never far from the essentials.
