10 The Dower House Crawley, Hampshire 11 OUTSIDE The Dower House has a brick built three car garage opposite the front door to the property, beyond which is a shed for storage and a machinery store near the entrance gates. To the southern side of the property is a tennis court and a strip of woodland. The garden and grounds have been maintained to a high standard and provide an impressive setting for this fine country house with far-reaching views stretching over the open countryside. The formal and structured gardens are to the south and west of the property. There is a sunken stone terrace on the southern side, which is partly enclosed with stone steps leading up to the main area of lawn. There are expansive areas of level lawns to the east, south and west of the property, the majority giving excellent views south over the adjoining farmland. We believe the garden, known for its spring display of bulbs and flowering cherry trees has, in the past, been open to the public.

It is Grade II listed and built of brick with part tile hung elevations under a clay tile roof.
