Three Oaks Farm
The Lane, Ifold, West Sussex
Independent reading
An award-winning 2022 modernist courtyard house with 3,412 sq ft of low-energy living, a detached office, natural swimming pond and 6.72 rewilded acres.
Three Oaks Farm clears the Pavello benchmark through genuinely authored modernist architecture, exceptional craft, sophisticated interiors, privacy and a rare landscape-led lifestyle. The £3.395m guide is about £995/sq ft on the 3,412 sq ft marketed area. That density should not be used until a signed component schedule confirms whether the detached en-suite office, carport and integrated external storage are included, while the £625,000 2021 transfer is treated only as the former farm/site rather than a like-for-like house sale.

Identity confidence99%
Three Oaks Farm, The Lane, Ifold, Billingshurst, West Sussex
The live Strutt & Parker instruction and current Rightmove and OnTheMarket records align on Three Oaks Farm, The Lane, Ifold, RH14 0UH: £3.395m, detached, freehold, 3,412 sq ft, three en-suite bedrooms, a detached office, 6.72 acres and the same 2022 Nick Willson Architects courtyard house. The Sussex Heritage Trust award record, Nick Willson Architects project index, exact-address planning records and the £625,000 June 2021 site transfer independently bridge the marketed name to the completed house. Official title and UPRN remain conveyancing evidence rather than assumptions.
