Billingshurst and its surrounding villages are the perfect place for commuters who want ease of access to London along with the country life. This charming village lies on the Wey and Arun Canal with its older buildings – including St Mary’s Church – believed to date back to the 12th century. In the heart of the village 16th century former coaching inns can be found, including The Kings Arms, The Kings Head and The Six Bells all of which offer a warm welcome and great beer.

Both pretty period properties and stylish contemporary houses establish the street character of the village centre and residential streets. Though a village, Billingshurst has everything you might need, with shops, cafes, and other amenities on par with a small town. There is a leisure centre with a swimming pool and gym, a library, and a community centre that hosts many events, clubs, and societies.

There are several well-regarded local schools, including Billingshurst Primary School, The Weald Secondary School and Sixth Form, Christ’s Hospital as well as other private schools in the nearby area which make this a great location for young families.
