Most of the population of the village is centred in the housing estate called Cherrybrook Close, but the village extends up two roads. One road leads to Westhope Common.

The 15th-century Hampton Court castle lies east of the village. It was the ancestral home of the Earl Coningsby.

Dinmore Manor, in a valley south west of the hill, was founded as a preceptory of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem. It is the private residence of mobile phone tycoon Martin Dawes and no longer open to the general public.

Winsley House, in the west of the parish, is a Grade II listed 14th-century farmhouse with later additions.
