The ancient town of Horsham offers a superb lifestyle in an exceptional location.
Horsham
With its attractive shopping streets filled with local boutiques, and the buzzing nightlife of East Street’s restaurants and bars – including the Michelin-starred Restaurant Tristan – Horsham offers its residents an enviable lifestyle.
The town is perfectly located between town and country, situated just over 30 miles from the south-west edge of London, and next to St Leonard’s Forest and near to the 260-square mile South Downs National Park.
Horsham boasts an excellent events calendar, with everything from weekly markets through to opera at Leonardslee Gardens, music festivals such as Horsham Rocks, and arts festivals.
Dating back to before the Domesday Book when it was known as ‘Horse Home’, Horsham retains its historic links with equestrianism via the nearby All England Jumping Course at Hickstead, and is perfect for families with several leading independent schools, including Farlington, Christs Hospital, Hurst, Ardingly, Lancing, Windelsham House, Brighton College, Cottesmore, Worth and Cranleigh.

Horsham is conveniently located on the A24, which connects to the M25 to the north, and travels to Worthing on the south coast.
The town’s main railway station connects to London Victoria (via Gatwick Airport) in less than an hour.
The South Coast
Lively towns and villages and spectacular coastal scenery typify the West Sussex coastline, making it the perfect location to buy a property.
Picturesque estuary villages including Bosham and Itchenor boast vibrant communities on the water, while the ancient cathedral city of Chichester combines compelling historic architecture with a modern feel.
For coastal living, West Sussex hosts some of the most premium locations for properties on the beach, with East and West Wittering’s sandy stretches being extremely popular, while further east, the peaceful village of East Preston is fast becoming a favoured spot.
