THE DOWER HOUSE‘An impressive Grade II* listed country house with outstanding views over the surrounding countryside.’
SITUATIONThe Dower House is situated in the popular village of Crawley, opposite St Mary’s Church. The cathedral city of Winchester is approximately 4.5 miles to the south east and provides a comprehensive range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities. To the west, lying approximately 4.5 miles away, is the Georgian market town of Stockbridge with a wonderful array of boutique shops, hairdressers, a deli, restaurants, public houses and a small supermarket.
• Communications are good with the M3 (Junction 9) approximately 5.5 miles away providing access to the M25 (Heathrow) and the national motorway network.
• To the south east of the property is Southampton International Airport which is approximately 17.1 miles away giving both National and European destinations.
• Regular commuter trains run to London Waterloo from Winchester station taking approximately 61 minutes.
• Racing can be found at Newbury and Salisbury whilst there is excellent chalk stream fishing on the nearby well regarded rivers of the Test and Itchen. There is also golf at Alresford, Hockley and the Royal Winchester.
• Schooling is particularly well-renowned within the area and includes the prep schools of St Swithun’s, Twyford, Pilgrim’s and Princes Mead. There is also Winchester College and Peter Symonds’s Sixth Form College. To the west, just beyond Stockbridge, is the pre-prep and preparatory school, Farleigh.
4 5The Dower House Crawley, Hampshire
THE DOWER HOUSEThe Dower House is believed to date from 17th Century with mid-19th Century extensions. The property is Grade II* listed and has been described as a ‘remarkable assembly of late Tudor and Jacobean styles’. The Property boasts many attractive features including chamfered stone framed casement windows, a crenelated parapet and a brick tower.
The property is approached through a pair of wrought-iron gates, along an impressive gravel drive sweeping through the lawns and terminating with a large turning area in front of the house.
Beyond the outer entrance hall is the elegant reception hall with an outstanding Jacobean staircase. From this room are the four principal reception rooms, the drawing room, dining room, library
and study. The kitchen/ breakfast room is well equipped and opens out into a wonderful orangery which in turn gives far-reaching views over the garden and grounds beyond. There is a well-appointed breakfast room beyond which is a laundry room, wine store, cloakroom and store room. There is also access to the self-contained first floor flat.
Over the first floor are six bedrooms and six bathrooms of which four are adjoining. Off bedroom six, a door leads through to a two bedroom self-contained flat. There is a door leading to a spiral staircase which give access to bedroom 7 on the second floor and the ‘tower room’ on the third floor. In all, the internal residential square footage amounts to approximately 9,365 sq ft.

10 11The Dower House Crawley, Hampshire
OUTSIDEThe 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.
COTTAGEAVAILABLE BY SEPARATE NEGOTIATION
Pear Tree Cottage can be approached directly from the village road or via a path with a pedestrian gate from the main property. It is Grade II listed and built of brick with part tile hung elevations under a clay tile roof. In brief, the property is over two floors and comprises drawing room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and cellar. Over the first floor are two double bedrooms. In addition, there is a small garden to the rear which is fully walled and mainly laid to lawn.
This property may be acquired by separate negotiation, or kept by the current owners.
