Description Moundsmere is a handsome gabled country house with half tile hung elevations under a tiled roof and approached via a private drive leading to wrought iron electric gates with an intercom entry system. The property is set behind high walling, with raised planted boarders, creating a high degree of privacy. The broad gravel drive continues through the gates, passing a wide expanse of lawn, trees and shrubs, to a turning circle in front of the property. Moundsmere is ideally equipped for entertaining, both indoor and out, and benefits from spectacular, unspoilt rural views to Chanctonbury Ring and Devils Dyke. Features of particular note include the impressive reception hall, with a sweeping central oak staircase to the large galleried landing above, an attractive orangery, reclaimed Burmese teak flooring, decorative cornicing and ceiling roses.
