IN THE BOROUGH TOWN OF BRIDPORT.
A GENTLEMAN'S RESIDENCE, PARK GROUNDS, and
FIFTY ACRES of LAND, APPROACHING the TOWN.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, •
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 6th of July, at
Twelve o'Clock, in one Lot,

AValuable FREEHOLD PROPERTY, either
for investment or occupation. It is familiar within the
county as

DONNE HALL MANSION,

and it has long since been the subject of regret, that an abode in
every respect so well calculated to afford the desired accommoda-
tion, has not been selected for
THE M.P. OF BRIDPORT ;

and this feeling is necessarily increased by the circumstance of
having had to seek at such a distance from
THE CONSTITUENCY OF BRIDPORT

both the Members,
possessor at the ay

. This mar, however, be remedied by the new
iproaching Election. Downe Hall is accounted

THE
~
THE LION OF BRIDPORT,

It is erected of Portland stone ; its architectural form is chaste ;
placed on a very commanding position, from which it partakes of the
EXTENDED AND PICTURESQUE SCENERY
for which this neighbourhood has long since put in an irresistible claim.
THE VAST OCEAN IS AMONG ITS MANIFOLD AT-

TRIBUTES ;
while the serenity of the scenic beauties within its own demesne
are so captivating, that ocular demonstration will be indispensable
t 3 arrive at its thorough appreciation. In a property so limited,
OF FIFTY ACRES,

it would be difficult to find such a combination of beauty, intermixed
with variety every where. The vast hills that screen the abode from
the wintry cold are clad in verdure to the very summit ; the approach
winds almost imperceptibly through the never-ending plantations;
and shrubbery walks, extending full two miles through a succession
of varied scenery. On the proud elevation is placed the hermitage.
It is here that nature has kindly lent its additional aid.
THE SPLENDID PANORAMA
which is presented, really beggars all description. In the descent
the wildness of the woodland scenery is contrasted by the murmur-
ing of the rivers below, seeming to aid in the illusion, and leave no-
thing to be desired. In this retirement, and amid the hanging
woods, Zimmerman may be supposed to have illumined the world
on the advantages of solitude.
The Mansion, although approximating upon the Town, is wisely
placed out of view by the luxuriant growth of the woods, and
within it will be found all the accommodation a family of high res-
pectability and pretensions can desire. The offices are in strict ac-
cordance, and the domestic arrangement throughout is quite com-
plete. And as it regards
THE CUISINE A MANGER,
and the Wine Cellars, it may be enough to state, that the most
fastidious of the constituency will find them suited to their heart's
content. There is excellent trout-fishing close at hand, and a
treble pack of fox-hounds.
WHAT CAN AN INDEPENDENT M.P. REQUIRE

BEYOND THIS ?
The Property is all Freehold ; and immediate possession will be
given, on completing the purchase.
Particulars may be had, twenty-one days prior to the sale, at the
Bull Inn; and of Mr. Templer, solicitor, at Bridport ; also at the
New London Inn, Exeter ; the , at Dorchester ; the Auction
Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London.
