Mowbray
Mowbray sits on the edge of Horsham, bringing together a handful of neighbourhoods that share a strong family-friendly character. Schools are a real strength here: Good and Outstanding primaries crop up across the area, with standouts like All Saints' CofE, Heron Way Primary and Bohunt Horsham all within easy reach. Crime runs well below the national average throughout, and in several neighbourhoods it's been falling year on year, so safety is a genuine draw rather than just a selling point.
Housing varies depending on which part of Mowbray you look at. Colgate & Rusper sits at the top end, with detached homes averaging £854,000 and over 40% of residents working from home, reflecting its rural, conservation feel. Holbrook East and Holbrook West offer more affordable detached and semi-detached options, while Roffey North and Roffey South give you the best value overall, especially for flats and terraces. Across the board, air quality rates Good, and transport costs tend to sit below the UK average.
Transport links are a mixed picture. Colgate & Rusper, Holbrook East and Roffey North all benefit from railway stations, making commutes to Horsham or London straightforward, and Roffey South has easy access to the A264, M23 and Gatwick. Holbrook West, by contrast, has limited public transport, so a car is more of a necessity there. Day-to-day amenities follow a similar pattern: Roffey South and Holbrook West have decent local shopping, cafes and healthcare on the doorstep, while Colgate & Rusper and Roffey North lean more heavily on nearby Horsham for everyday needs. Overall, Mowbray suits buyers who want good schools, low crime and clean air, with the trade-off of variable convenience depending on exactly where you settle.
