A call to emergency services at 11.35 reported smoke coming through the front door of the semi-detached property in Granary Lane but on arrival firefighters found it already well alight, West Sussex Fire and Rescue confirmed.

A spokesman for the fire service said the blaze was in the rear conservatory, the first floor and the roof of the house, which is split into two private dwellings.

Specialist appliances are also on scene working to help put out the blaze, and crews are using jets, a hydrant and hose reels to tackle the fire, along with thermal imaging cameras.
