and in ♦iew of

THE ORNANIENTAL WATERS.
A splendid Conservatory, erected upon the best principle, adorns
this favoured abode. The majestic timber which ornament
THE HANGING WOODS, -
in.e!lndes " THE MONARCH OF THE FOREST,"
with Pines of stately growth. The rising grounds afford shelter
from the wintry wind ; while
" THE VALLEY TEEMING WITH WILD FERTILITY,"
refreshes and aids the delightful illusion. In the extensive
Shrubberies which encompass Elfordleigh, the American Plants
and flowering Shrubs, relieved by parterres, projecting rocks,
the jet d'eau and fountain, form an ensemble of very rare oc-
currence. The Kitchen Gardens are walled, and abound in fruit
and vegetables. The approach to the Mansion is by a rustic lodge
of pleasing design, and progresses for a mile through the luxuriant
plantations, wherein vistas are judiciously cut to give additional
effect, and vary the delightful scene, until the pictureque valley is
brought into closer contact ; indeed, the situation will hardly yield
to anything throughout this interesting district. It is midway
between

IVYBRIDGE AND PLYMOUTH,
" THE RENOWNED WOODS OF SALTRAIII"
on one side, and Newnham on the other; in the distant scene
MOUNT EDGCOMBE,
Lord Morley's, and the Town of Plymouth, are perceptible—aid in
the delightful illusion, and tend materially to heighten the effect of
the picture.

PLYM BRIDGE AND RIVER PLYM
give effect to the
FAMED SCENERY OF BICKLEY VALE,
and in the distance the landscape is made perfect by the
CRAGGY MOUNTAINS OF DARTMOOR,
and
THE FAMED BREAKWATER.
The neighbourhood stands confessedly without a rival anywhere for
its good fellowship and high respectability. The Mansion is adapted
to a man of fortune.
THE STRUCTURE IS OF STONE ; A MODERN ELE-
VATION,
avoiding all the faults of the present school; in its outward form
IT IS OF AN IMPOSING CHARACTER,
and within there is

" THAT WHICH PASSETH gHEW,"
for comfort in its most intelligible form prevails throughout ; the
offices are very commensurate, and the court-yard encloses excellent
stabling for ten horses, and standing for three carriages. By the
way it may not be amiss to allude to the forthcoming
CONTEST FOR THIS DISTRICF,
when the possessor of Elfordleigh will put in ♦ery strong claims to
be one of the

REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COUNTY,
if his principles be Conservative and liberal, and the motto of
llospitality" be appended to the Mansion, it is not impossible he
may

WALK OVER THE COURSE.
