History, heritage & famous connections
Hermitage grew up as a village in the chalk downland north of Newbury; its Holy Trinity Church dates from 1839, funded by local donations under the patronage of the Marquess of Downshire, and the village's civil parish takes in the settlements of Little Hungerford and Wellhouse as well as Hermitage itself. From 1882 the village was served by its own railway station on the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway, until the line closed in the 1960s. During the First World War, around 1917–18, the novelist D. H. Lawrence lived in Hermitage, a literary footnote the village still remembers.
Through the 20th and 21st centuries Hermitage remained a genuine, well-served downland village, gaining and keeping a good range of amenities for its size, a shop, two pubs, a garden centre and a primary school, and becoming a sought-after place to live for its setting in the North Wessex Downs and its closeness to Newbury. Today it is a friendly, desirable village, popular with families and country lovers.

Quick tips before you buy in Hermitage
- Enjoy the village, the shop and post office, the two pubs, Holy Trinity Church and the garden centre, with the North Wessex Downs on the doorstep and Newbury close.

- Confirm the council tax and band, Hermitage (Hermitage parish, West Berkshire) Band D is £2,480.81 for 2026/27.
- Budget realistically, prices are above average, and larger period and country homes mean substantial lending; use an adviser.

- For schools, check catchment for Hermitage Primary and The Downs School, and note the Newbury independents and Downe House nearby.

- Note Newbury (station, racecourse, shops) and Thatcham (station) are each a short drive.
- Get a mortgage agreement in principle before you start viewing in earnest.
