A market town on the upper reaches of the River Arun in West Sussex, Horsham is 30 miles south-west of London and often tipped as a commuter town. Of course, living and renting in Horsham is considerably cheaper than in the capital and so families and young couples flock to the town to enjoy more space, as well as a happier, healthier, and community-driven lifestyle.

Horsham has been voted as one of the best places to live in the UK on several occasions, and that’s largely down to its balanced feel. You can be in the city in 50 minutes, but it feels firmly like countryside, small-town living. There are nine suburbs to Horsham: Holbrook, Littlehaven, Needles, Newtown, North Heath, Oakhill, Roffey, Tower Hill and Trafalgar.

Flats & Apartments for Rent in Horsham

The Holbrook district of Horsham is the place to find flats to rent, and there are several low and medium-rise apartment blocks here. There are also some flats above the commercial areas, but these are a little older and come with architectural quirks such as wooden beams.

Houses for Rent in Horsham

Horsham boasts lots of older-style detached homes to rent surrounded by generously sized gardens that really boost the countryside feel. There are some newer estates a little out of the centre, and it's here you’ll find both semi and detached houses for rent that are more modern.

Horsham Amenities & Leisure

Horsham has its own high street with some shops, a post office, convenience store, cafe, hairdressers and beauticians. There’s also a pub, primary school and a leisure centre with gym facilities. Horsham rail station connects with London Victoria in under an hour and, despite this being a solid 'commuter country', you won’t find it too busy, even in rush hour.

The town lies at the junction of three main road routes, with the A24, A264 and M23 all close by, and lots of bus services available.
