Crowthorne is one of those places that gets under your skin. Much like Binfield, once people move here they tend to stay, and properties do not come up for sale very often as a result. It has a distinct character, a loyal community and a high street that genuinely buzzes with life in a way that many Berkshire villages can only aspire to.
I have a personal connection to Crowthorne that goes back further than most. My first ever job was at the old TRL site, the Transport Research Laboratory, just outside the village. I did a nine mile ride to get there every day and I came to know the area well during that time. It is somewhere I have always had a fondness for.
A village that holds onto its residents
Properties in Crowthorne are genuinely sought after and the market here moves quickly when something does come up. Much like Binfield, the buyers who succeed here are the ones who are prepared in advance. Having your Agreement in Principle ready before you start viewing is not just sensible, it is often the difference between getting the home you want and watching someone else move in.
The high street and places we love
Crowthorne High Street has a lovely independent feel and a good mix of places to eat and drink. Don Benny is a firm favourite of ours and the seafood risotto is genuinely excellent. It is a big plate and a good one, so arrive hungry. The Prince is one of those reliable local pubs that is always busy for good reason. Stables Coffee Co. is well worth knowing about for a good coffee and a quieter moment during the week.
Schools and community
Crowthorne has some outstanding schools. Edgbarrow School has a strong local reputation and Wellington College, one of the most prestigious independent schools in the country, is based right here in the village. For families, the combination of good state and independent schooling options is a genuine draw and one of the reasons the area retains its residents so effectively.
The village has good parks and recreation grounds that give it a relaxed, liveable feel at weekends.
A little bit of history
Crowthorne is also home to Broadmoor, one of Britain's most well-known high security psychiatric hospitals and the place where some of the country's most notorious criminals have been housed over the years. It sits quietly on the edge of the village and most residents will tell you it barely registers in day to day life, but it is part of Crowthorne's story and worth mentioning for anyone researching the area.
Getting around
Crowthorne has its own train station with services that connect towards Reading and towards Gatwick, Guildford and beyond. The village is also a short drive from Sandhurst, Camberley and Blackwater, all of which have significant employers in the defence, technology and professional services sectors. For anyone working in that corridor, Crowthorne offers a quieter base with easy access in either direction.
