IN SURREY.

ANCE IN A FINELY WOODED PARK, AND A DO-
MAIN CONNECTED WITH IT OF 176 ACRES,
WITH EXTENSIVE GARDENS, PLEASURE-
GROUNDS, AND. PLANTATION WALKS.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has been honoured
by instructions from
A NOBLE VISCOUNT, THE PROPRIETOR,
to offer to Public Auction, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY,
May 26th, at o'clock,
THE WONHAM ESTATE,

A FINE FREEHOLD PROPERTY,
situate in the admßireOX
HILL ANDict which cREIGATE.onnects it with
From the latter it is two miles distant, and about four from Dorking.
The property under consideration has been known for many a long
year as one of
THE PET PLACES OF SURREY.
It is altogether of a commanding character. The Mansion partakes
very much of the
GOTHIC ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE ;
and without pretending to more than its deserts, it may be pro-
claimed to rank as one of the best family abodes throughout the
County. It is
.EMBOSSOMED IN A FINELY TIMBERED PARK,
THE RIVER MOLE PASSING THROUGH IT,
abundantly supplied with fish, while the meandering of its stream is
indistinctly heard at the mansion. The pleasure-grounds and
plantation walks are very extensive, and so fruitful in American
plants and evergreens, that winter appears estranged from this do-
micile. The Kitchen-gardens are most abundant ; the Hot-
houses and Green-house well placed ; and an Ice-house hard
by. In respect of the residence, it may be well to observe it was
erected in the olden times, when substantiality and comfort were
both voted essentials. It is in excellent order, although it is not
pretended to deny that a purchaser may have the benefit of distin-
guishing himself, and manifesting his taste, by a little ornamental
renovation in the interior. There is
A SPLENDID CONSERVATORY
which adorns the South Front,
MEASURING EIGHTY-TWO FEET,
erected of massive stone, combining much of utility with good
taste, and adding, not a little, to the consequence of the place. The
Estate is altogether
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX ACRES,
of which the Park and Plantations are about sixty-eight acres, all,
lying together, and including " The Rice-bridge Dairy Farm.
The quality of the soil is exceedingly rich; between two and three
loads of hay per acre may be accounted an average crop • and some
of the best bullocks in the London market may be traced to Won-
ham. The situation of the property is so familiar to every one,
that it would be superfluous to say much. Nothing can exceed the
variety and interest of the surrounding scenery ; indeed this very
district has long been entitled one of
" THE GARDENS OF ENGLAND."
Its easy access to the Metropolis and Brighton will not be underva-
lued. If ennui should ever dare to intrude at Wonham, a remedy is
at hand—the projected railway will so reduce the time, as to par-
take of tho gaiety of Brighton or London in little more than an
hour. It may not be amiss, by way of reminder, to state that field
sports may be enjoyed to a great degree, and
THE DERBY AND OAKS
come off within five or six miles. Such is a faint outline. The
intermediate space will be made out more satisfactorily by seeking
ocular demonstration.
Particulars will be ready for distribution 28 days prior to the
sale, to be had at the principal Inns at Reigate, Sutton, Dorking
and Epsom ; of Mr. Mortimer, solicitor, Albany --, the Auc-
tion Mart, and in Covent-garden, where a plan of the Estate and
a drawing of the Mansion can be inspected.
