MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received
instructions from the Proprietor to SELL by AUCTION,
at the Auction Mart, on TUESDAY, August 6, at Twelve o'Clock,
One of the most unique and beautiful FREEHOLD ESTATES
which has ever been submitted to public competition. COMB HAY
has ever been celebrated fir the surpassing richness and picturesque
beauty of its scenery, and hence has always been recognised as one
of the show places of the county. It is within four miles of the
fashionable city of Bath, nine miles from Frome, and twelve from
Bristol (three of the best markets in the kingdom), and the Great
Western Railway, unrivalled in its execution and the superior speed
attained on it, is now in rapid course of completion, and will bring

this valuable property within four hours' communication of the
Metropolis.
The Estate comprises an excellent and substantial Family Man-
sion, in which the most perfect comfort and convenience are
united with no small degree of architectural beauty. It is built
of the celebrated Bath stone, in the Grecian style, after a
chaste and elegant design, and is in perfect harmony with the
beautiful scenery which surrounds it, of which it forms a most
distinguished ornament. In the interior nothing is sacrificed to
show, yet the rooms are spacious and beautifully proportioned, and,
having a south-wcstern aspect, combine cheerfulness with the most
perfect retirement and seclusion. It may be remarked also that na-
ture has been so lavish in her favours that the artificial embellish-
ments with which it is surrounded are kept up at a moderate ex.
pense, and whilst from the ample accommodation it affords, it is
suited to a noblemen or gentleman of large fortune, it is not un-
suited to one in moderately affluent circumstances.
The house stands in the centre of the property, on a sloping
lawn, at the foot of which runs the Comb Hay river, a trout stream.
The pleasure grounds and walks are laid out with exquisite taste'
and judgment, the park, and indeed the entire surface, is studded
with majestic timber, and the elevated portions are crowned with
wreaths of woods and plantations, which shield the residence from
the influence of cold seasons, and constitute preserves peculiarly
adapted to the rearing and preservation of game in all its varieties.
Fox.hounds are kennelled in the immediate vicinity.
The mansion, park, woods, and plantations are in hand ; the re-
mainder of the domain is divided into three occupations (to which
excellent farm houses and homesteads are attached), let to yearly
tenants at exceedingly low rents.

The estate comprises the entire parish and village of Comb Hay,
and includes the manor and advowson of the rectory.
The Advowson, which is of the value of about 4004 per annum,
consists of a superior parsonage house, commanding beautiful
views, and surrounded by shrubberies, pleasure grounds, and gar-
dens laid out with unusual taste. There is also an ornamental
fish-pond, fountain, and cascade, together with stabling and offices,
and 40 acres of fine glebe land. The incumbent's age is 62.
Coal is obtained in the neighbourhood at 10s. per ton, and in the
opinion of eminent mineral surveyors there are decisive indicat►ons
of the coal fields of this district extending under this particular
estate. There is a valuable Bath-stone quarry on the estate, and
fuller's earth is also •btained in great abundance, from which an
annual income is derived. The coal canal affords a cheap transit
for these articles, as well as for agric►iltural produce and manure.
The estate Is exonerated from land.tax, the tithes are commuted,
and the parochial rates are very low.
The estate may be viewed by tickets, to be obtained of Messrs.
English and Fasana, Auctioneers, &c., Milsom.street, Bath ; of
Messrs. Robinson and Barlow, solicitors, 26, Essex_street, Strand,
London ; at the Mart; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury
Particulars, plans, and drawings may be obtained as above, price
21. 6d. each.
