area information Located in the south east corner of the town, the neighbourhood of Maidenbower was developed on farmland between the M23 and the London-Brighton railway. Bordered by Pound Hill to the north and Furnace Green across the railway line to the west, there are two infant schools, junior school and Oriel High School. There is a parade of shops for every day needs, community centre and surgeries. The popular Frogshole Farm pub, an original 16th century farm building, offers classic pub food, as does the Coaching Halt pub restaurant which lies adjacent to Maidenbower Business Park off the Balcombe Road. The 24 hour Fastway Metrobus service connects the neighbourhood with Gatwick Airport and Crawley town centre, while Three Bridges mainline station is on the doorstep offering fast and direct services to London. Many say Maidenbower has a distinct village feel despite being so central to all the facilities that Crawley has to offer, what more could you want?

vendor's comments I bought the flat because it's in an excellent position for schools, shops, doctor, etc, and there are pathways so you can walk to Three Bridges station fairly easily. I like the flat because it's a nice size for a couple and, because of its position, thought it would be very rentable which it definitely has been. I am selling it because my personal situation has changed pretty drastically over the past 18 months causing me to make considerable changes in my life and the money from the sale of the flat will make those changes a little easier - I hope.
