IN SOUTH DEVON.

The SANDWELL ESTATE, a HIGHLY FAVOURED
PROPERTY, WITHIN THREE MILES of TOTNES.
TO BE SOLI) BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEO: ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, August 24, at
Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, by direction of the Devizec in Fee.
AN Exceedingly desirable FREEHOLD PRO-
PERTY, the SANDWELL ESTATE, one of the most
esteemed in this highly favoured county, and for many a long year
the delightful abode or
JOHN ROWE BENNETT, Esq., Deceased.
This property needs not the- artificial aid of ornament throughout
the County, where it is too well known to require panegyric ; the
following concise and imperfect statement is intended with a view
to illumine only those at a distance. The residence is of a character
which unites every possible comfort, without the dread of being
overhoused.. It is
A STONE EDIFICE, seated in the LUXURIANT VALLEY,
and protected during the inclement season by the
AMPHITHEATRE OF HILLS ;

its architectural form is chaste, and within it will be found all the
accommodation a family of pretension can desire. It is encom-
passed by

A FINELY WOODED PARK,
AMID " SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY."

There is a never-ending combination of hill and dale, adorned by
majestic woods ; the " Meandering of the River Harburne," and the
constant undulations of the grounds, combine to form
A PERFECT CLAUDESCENE,

and one of very rare occurrence. The offices connected with the
Mansion are very abundant ;
THE LAWN AND PLEASURE GROUNDS

are adorned by myriads of plants and flowering shrubs, the Kitchen
Garden prolific in Fruit and Vegetables, and the abundance of Fish
caught within sight of the drawing-room, would render the vocation
of a neighbouring fishmonger a, work of supererogation.
WINTER APPEARS A STRANGER TO SANDWELL,
and the climate is so congenial to longevity, that even an
EAST INDIAN VALETUDINARIAN,
. . _

who in despair has resigned himself to a very limited period of
vears, may here find a solace arising out of the salubrity in the air,
it at wili awaken to him the cheering prospect of a renewed lease of
health and vigour. The domain extends to
ONE lIGYDRED AND FIFTY-ONE ACRES,
entirely within a ring ::nce,
FRk.:3 FROM TITHE,
and of a quality to chalk:l4e a. comparison anywhere. The Pasture
Lands possess the facility of fattening cattle with great quickness,
and Smithfield Market owes a heavy debt of gratitude to SAND-
WELL. Upon the Meadow Land the Crops are most luxuriant,
and there is a small portion adapted to Wheat and Turnip Land of
the best quality. There are Lime Kilos at a convenient distance,
which produce a large revenue, beside affording the facility of
dressing the contiguous Lands. Also
A MAGNIFICENT ROCK OP MARBLE,
that appears interminable ; and if profit. be in tho " mind's eye" of
a purchaser, he will find the rock capable of erecting
" A SECOND CITY OF BATH."
Sandwell is 3 miles from Totnes. The Lodge entree (where a
bag is left night and morning), is in the high mail road from Lon-
don and Exeter to Plymouth. Coals are within 3 miles, and there
are two Orchards producing an immensity of Cider and Perry every
year.
Early possession may be obtained. Particulars with plans and
a drawing, 28 days prior to the Sale, at the best Inns at Tor-
quay, Teignmouth, Totnes, Plymouth, and Ivybridge, the New
London Inn, the Offices of Mr. Bishop, Solicitor, Exeter; the
Alert, and Mc. Geo. Robins's Offices in Covent-garden.
