The hamlet is centred on the south to north Coolham to Barns Green minor road, where Coolham Road becomes Trout Lane at a staggered junction with Emms Lane, running west, and Lackenhurst Lane, running east. The rural aspect comprises farms, fields, orchards, managed woodland and isolated and stream-fed ponds. Two streams, Lackenhurst Gill at the south-east and another at the north-west which feeds Parson's Brook, both feed the River Adur, 1,500 yards (1,400 m) to the south. In the north of the hamlet is a residential area of new-build properties, a caravan park, a motor services company, and a dog boarding kennel.[2][3] Approximately 500 yards (460 m) south-east from the central junction, and south off Lackenhurst Lane, is the farmhouse of Lackenhurst, Grade II listed in 1959, which dates to the 16th century and is timber-framed, of two storeys, with a half-hippedgabled roof of Horsham Stone slabs.[2][4][5]
