TORQUAY.
BEACH COTTAGE, BABBICOMBE, DEVON.
R. GEORGE ROBINS has been directed to
OFFER for PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auc-
tion Mart, on THURSDAY, Aug. 24, at Twelve, a very recherche
property, which may indeed claim to be distinguished amongst the
most favoured. It is called

BEACH COTTAGE,
The late Residence of GEORGE WHITEHEAD, Esq. deceased,
and is situate in the romantic
VILLAGE OF BABBICOMBE

a spot which even those actustomeiioth;variodloveliness of this
beautiful county universally admit to be the
GARDEN OF SOUTH DEVON;
it is completely embedded in its own wild luxuriant grounds of
about SIX ACRES;

it stands in need of no auxiliary beautie;, for nature bath most li-
berally gifted it ; it is inaccessible to the sight, save only from the
sea, upon which it peeps, and obtains a view of the limpid bay of
Babbicombe, which has been with great truth and justice, likened
to the BAY OF NAPLES.

It may, indeed, be safely asserted, that no spot throughout the
world can surpass in sweetness and salubrity of situation the one
upon which this delightful little retreat has been placed.
THE PROPERTY IS EQUAL TO FREEHOLD,
being held upon three lives, renewable for ever. The cottage is re-
plete with every domestic comfort, and even a nobleman would
find no lack of accommodation.
Very descriptive particulars can be obtained 21 days prior to the
sale, at Messrs. Atkins, solicitors, and the Libraries, Torquay ; the
New London Inn, Exeter ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George
Robins's offices, Covent-warden.
