Broomfield has seen much housing development in the last two decades, particularly to the west and north of the village. Consequently, the boundary with neighbouring
Herne has become blurred. Despite this, there are few shops: aside from the village's post office on Margate Road, there is a mini-supermarket, two
takeaways and a hairdresser on Hawe Farm Way.
There is one pub in the village, the Huntsman & Horn. Located on Margate Road, the Huntsman & Horn overlooks Broomfield Pond. There is also one church, Broomfield United Reformed Church, located on The Meadows.
To the south of Broomfield lies
East Blean Woods, while to the south-east is a world-championship standard
