Living in Burghfield
Day to day, Burghfield is a large, established and practical village near Reading, two settlements, good schools, local amenities, and the Kennet and the lakes nearby. Here is a sense of everyday life.
Burghfield has a genuine community across its two settlements, Burghfield Common (with The Willink School, shops and amenities) and Burghfield Village (around St Mary's Church), along with primary schools, recreation grounds, clubs, and the River Kennet, the canal and the Theale lakes nearby, with Reading only about four miles away for bigger shopping, employment and fast trains. The big everyday pluses are the schools, the value relative to the Thames villages, the countryside and the closeness to Reading.
Connectivity for working is generally good, superfast and full-fibre broadband reach much of the village, which suits home and hybrid working, complemented by the nearby stations and Reading's fast trains for office days. The main things to weigh are the lack of a station within the village (though several are close), a flood-risk consideration in the low-lying parts near the Kennet, and the presence of the AWE site, which some buyers like to read about first.

A few standard checks are worth their weight when buying in Burghfield.
History, heritage & famous connections
Burghfield is an old parish in the country south-west of Reading, near the River Kennet; its church, St Mary's, is of 12th-century origin, though it was demolished and rebuilt in 1843 as a Norman-revival building designed by J.B. Clacy of Reading. The parish is a dispersed one, with two main settlements, Burghfield Village, the older core around the church, and Burghfield Common, and several hamlets, and its history is bound up with farming, the river and its mills.
In the 20th century the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) established a major site at Burghfield, becoming a significant local employer, and the village grew with new housing and gained The Willink School (founded in 1957). Through the 20th and 21st centuries Burghfield developed into the large, established and practical village of today, popular with families for its schools, its value and its closeness to Reading.
