Horsham – October 2020
News report from September 2015
EIGHT people have been made homeless after a fire ripped through a shared house.
Firefighters had to use water from a nearby pond and a swimming pool to battle the flames at the property near Horsham.
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said the roof space was 70 per cent damaged while the ground floor was 50 per cent damaged
Firefighters took nearly four hours to stop the fire and were still at the site the next day making it safe.
A big site, with 3 properties, a swimming pool, a lake and another building behind the main house.
A good explore here with a couple of abandoned cars (one of which had a crossbow hanging from it) and a huge games room, with a pool table, dart board, piano and a couple of fruit machines.
There were lots of toys and Christmas decorations dotted about as well.
The master bedroom still contained a cot and a baby grow, which made me quite uncomfortable to see.
An application for planning permission was put in to Horsham D.C. in March this year to demolish the 3 existing dwellings and associated buildings and replace them with 4 new ones
