Horsham
Sitting as it does on the fringes of the Weald, Horsham is a pretty and popular market town which is a West Sussex gem. Its tree-lined streets are a delight to walk and the mix of properties ranges from Georgian gems to modern day apartments.
The town centre is bustling and popular and Horsham’s relative proximity to both the coast and the capital makes it a popular spot with commuters. Having Gatwick Airport close by only adds to the sense of a community on the move here.
