Homes in Horsham
Horsham has a historic town centre with timber-framed buildings and Horsham stone roofs, many listed, around the Causeway and the Carfax. Victorian and Edwardian houses fill the streets around the town, and Roffey and Holbrook have interwar and post-war homes.
Broadbridge Heath and Southwater have large new-build developments. The town sits on Weald Clay, which shrinks and swells with the seasons, and the River Arun runs nearby, bringing localised flood risk. Many older houses have timber frames and cellars. The Causeway is one of the town's most attractive streets, with some of the town's oldest timber-framed and stone-roofed buildings. Horsham Park and the nearby St Leonard's Forest add green space. Roffey and Littlehaven have larger interwar and later homes on quieter streets, popular with families. The town has fast trains to London.
Areas we cover include Horsham Town, Roffey, Broadbridge Heath, Southwater, Holbrook, Littlehaven, Christ's Hospital.
