A quiet crossroads village
Itchingfield itself remains a small, quiet settlement centred on its parish church, with most of the parish's newer housing and services concentrated in nearby Barns Green rather than the village itself.
Garages in a small village
With fewer new-build estates than some of its neighbours, garages in Itchingfield tend to be older, standalone brick or timber structures rather than the integral garages found on modern developments.
