MR. JOHN HOOPER has instructions to
SUBMIT for SALE, at the Globe Hotel, in Newton Abbot,
on THURSDAY, the 9th day of August next, at Two for Three
o'clock in the Afternoon punctually.
A VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE,
suited to a Gentleman desirous of residing upon it, and admirably
adapted to a safe investment of capital. The property is advan-
tageously placed within an easy reach of excellent Markets, and
known as

" WRAY BARTON."
The whole is within a ring fence, and situate in the Parish of
Moretonhampstead, twelve miles from Exeter, and ten from the
Newton Abbot Station of the South Devon Railway, and comprises
TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY-FOUR ACRES,
principally of prime irrigated MEADOW and rich PASTURE LAND.
The House, which is a singularly neat, handsome, and most
substantial Residence of the Tudor style, was built by the Pro-
prietor about eight years since, on a bold and cheerful eminence
sloping to the south, in the centre of the Property, and overlooking
the far-famed Valley of the Wray. It comprises Breakfast,
Dining, and Drawing Rooms, ten Bed Rooms; with all convenien,
Offices, Stables, Coach-house, and every other building that a
Gentleman can require in order to become a good farmer, or
necessary for a Tenant; with walled and Kitchen Gardens. Its
beautiful Park-like Grounds, studded Timber and Rookeries, with
magnificent hanging Woods and jutting Rocks, as seen from the
House, impart at once to the spectator a most lively and enchant-
ing appearance. It is perfectly sheltered from the north east and
west winds.
The Turnpike Road from the north to the south of Devon, and
its Watering Places, Torquay, Teignmouth, and Dawlish, runs
through the Estate ; Game is plentiful, and woodcocks numerous
in their season ; and the House may be constantly supplied at all
times, when required. with rare trout from the streams and Ponds
of the Estate; the Rivers Bovey and Teign, where fish abound,
are within two and four miles. A Pack of Hounds is kept within
three miles, which hunt regularly in the neighbourhood. The
Scenery upon and immediately adjoining 'this delightful- spot is
very fine; it may be equalled, but not surpassed for beauty.
To any Gentleman seeking a nice compact Freehold Estate,
either for occupancy or investment, the present now about to be
offered only requires to be seen to be duly appreciated. The
crops of grass give positive proof of its quality, and its conge-
niality for turnips and corn (if so preferred) is most proverbial in
the district. The whole estate is in hand, and early possession
may be had, if required.
For viewing, apply to the Owner, residing at the House, where
plans may be seen and particulars obtained. Plans may also be
seen and particulars obtained of Mr. ROBERTS, Bookseller, No.
