Sindlesham is an estate village in the civil parish of Winnersh, Borough of Wokingham, and county of Berkshire, in South East England. Located by the M4 motorway, it is south-east of Reading and adjoins Winnersh village. Some parts of Sindlesham on the North of the River Loddon including Sindlesham Mill and Sindlesham Farmhouse are now included in the Town of Earley.
It has a long history: mention is made of a chapel being built here in 1220. There is a large hotel here which at one time was a three-storey watermill on the River Loddon. Also nearby is the estate of Bearwood House, built in 1864 by John Walter, the then proprietor of The Times newspaper, now Bearwood College, a private secondary school. The village is home to the Nirvana Spa health club, and contains the offices of Winnersh Parish Council and the Berkshire Masonic Centre at Sindlesham Court. There are also two golf courses, Bearwood and Bearwood Lakes. There's a primary school in Sindlesham called Bearwood Primary School.
