What is life like in Burford?

Burford is a place where the fall fair is a big deal, the hockey rink is a social hub and the main street is lined with turn-of-the-century homes. It is small, with a population of roughly a thousand in the village itself, and that is exactly why people choose it.

Burford Golf Links sits just outside the village, and the country roads around it are popular with cyclists. For bigger shopping, Brantford's west end is a quick drive along Highway 53.

Who is Burford a good fit for?

Young families who want a village school and a bigger lot, downsizers who want quiet without giving up quick access to Brantford, and buyers looking for a hobby farm or a country home with a shop. Commuters heading west toward Woodstock and the 401 also like the location.

If you are weighing Burford against Paris or St. George, the short version is that Burford is quieter and more rural, with less tourist traffic and generally larger lots.

What kinds of homes are in Burford?

Older brick and frame homes line the village streets, many on generous lots. A few newer streets add bungalows and two-storey homes. Around the village, farmhouses and country properties on an acre or more are common, usually with a private well and septic system.

Inventory is small and good homes do not stay long, so it helps to have your financing ready. See current homes for sale in Burford, or browse the wider Brant County market.

Are Burford homes on well and septic?

Many are, especially outside the village core. When you buy a rural or hamlet home, plan for a water potability test, a check of the well's flow and condition, and a septic inspection. We help buyers build those conditions into their offers so there are no surprises after closing.
