A derelict building on the fringes of Gatwick airport was destroyed by fire last night.
The two-storey house in Lowfield Heath, within sight of the airport runway, was ravaged by flames.
Six fire crews were called to the blaze in Poles Lane just before 10pm.
They could not work inside the building because it was unsound.
The fire was out by midnight but a crew spent the night at the scene to make sure it did not flare up again.
Fire investigation officers are working at the scene this morning to find out how it started.
