Originally named Sydmonton, Burghclere railway station was further from the village of Burghclere than Highclere station. However, the station was a relatively busy station serving the larger village of Kingsclere. Although furnished with the usual two platforms, station buildings (on the northbound platform) and passing loop, there were additional sidings on both sides of the line and further private sidings on a curve to the south east servicing local lime kilns. A goods shed, standard crane and cattle pen was also built next to the siding on the Northbound line.
