Ifold is a hamlet in West Sussex and part of the civil parish of Plaistow, of which it is the largest settlement. Ifold has a settlement boundary and for decades has had new housing development. Ifold, as it is today, arose from historic Ifold Estate with its manor house, Ifold House built in 1802 on the site of an original and demolished in 1936. During WWII plots of land were sold, originally to people who used them to build holiday or weekend homes.

Ifold has a community centre, Kelsey Hall. Originally a garage dating back to 1948, it has since been rebuilt and extended in the 1990s with the help of a lottery grant. The hall hosts a number of weekly user groups.
There is also a Scout Association which has Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Brownies, Guides and Explorer Scouts. The Scout hut serves Ifold and the surrounding villages.
Ifold Estates take an extortionate amount of money from residents every year and yet the roads are still terrible.
