About

Holbrook West ward occupies the northwestern edge of the Horsham district. The area is primarily residential, characterised by modern housing estates and cul-de-sacs built from the late 20th century onwards. It is bordered by the A264 to the south and open farmland to the north and west, giving it a suburban feel with immediate access to the countryside. The ward includes the neighbourhoods of Holbrook and much of the Roffey area, with local services centred around several small parades of shops.

The terrain is gently undulating, with the ward's landscape shaped by its position on the edge of the Weald. A notable local feature is Holbrook village's historic heart, which sits somewhat separate from the newer developments, preserving its older character. Recreational space is provided by Holbrook Park, which offers sports facilities and woodland walks. The ward is served by several primary schools, making it a practical choice for families seeking a settled community within the larger town.
