TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Angel Inn, Abergavenny, on TUESDAY, the 23d of May,
at Twelve o'Clock, in Lots, and peremptory.
A Valuable and highly improvable FREEHOLD
-CIL ESTATE, which will offer tempting advantages to those
who would invest their Capital in perfect security.
" THE MOUNT PLEASANT ESTATE,"
which includes
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ACRES,
is situate within four miles of the far-famed town of Abergavenny,
on the mail-road to Pontypool and Newport. It is within a ring-
fence; the Lands are judiciously divided into a full proportion of
rich Meadow, Paatire, Arable, and Woodland, besides
THRIVING FRUIT PLANTATIONS.
The woods, as they progress, will form a belt on one side, and it
need hardly be added, that it will tend materially to ornament it.
The present Residence may, with a little outlay, be conveniently
adapted to the occupation of a Gentleman of pretensions ; it is placed
on a commanding position, by which it partakes, to a very consi-
derable extent, in the almost endless variety of Hill and Dale which
encompasses it : indeed, the Scenery, which partakes of a com-
manding view of the beautiful valley, may be said to claim to be the
most favoured of this interesting county.
THE SPLENDID VALE OF USK, AND ITS
ORNAMENTAL AND FRUITFUL RIVER,
takes its course near this interesting Property.
THE FINEST SALMON AND TROUT THROUGHOUT
ENGLAND
are caught within sight of the abode.
THE BRECON AND ABERGAVENNY CANAL -
passes through the demesne, offering a facility that the honest, in-
dustrious Yeoman will know how to appreciate. It carries away
.the produce to more favourable markets, and returns laden with
lime, manure, and coals; there is also a very powerful stream of
water meandering, through the meadows, with a fall of 50 feet,
which may without difficulty be made exceedingly ornamental;
and if profit be
IN THE " MIND'S EYE" OF A PURCHASER,
the report of an eminent engineer has given to the site a character
most favourable for the erection of
TIN AND WITTE WORKS ON A GREAT SCALE;
AND GRIST MILLS, REQUIRING
the aid of a never-failing supply of water.
The neighbouring markets are all good': it is distant 3 miles
from Blaen Avon and Varteg Iron-works (the latter would alone
consume all the produce at high prices) ; 4 from the flourishing
town of Abergavenny, and 6 from Pontypool. The Estate is di-
vided to meet the wishes of every class; with the residence is ap-
propriated about 134 acres.: the remaining seven lots include
James's little Farm, and sundry enclosures and cottages, all let, or
rather underlet, to tenants at will. The Estate possesses singular
advantages to a sporting man—the covers are numerous, and game
is in great abundance.
