to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY,
June 21, at -Twelve o'Clock, in
BOSCOMB One Lot, without a limit,
LODGE,
AN ELEGANT MARINE VILLA

lone distinguished from its neighbouring contemporaries as one of
the most select within this delightful vicinage. It formerly had the
benefit of all the acknowledged taste of Robert Heathcote, Esq. ;
this has since been confirmed and completed oy the late excellent
toyssessor (although it will not be disguised that it may be improved
a little embellishment in the minor departments, which hasThoen
neglected during a long illness). Its outward form does not claim
to be in accordance with any particular order of architecture, but it
puts on an irresistible claim to comfort and good taste. The ap-
proach is by a Lodge-gate through
THE PARK GROUNDS,
that are seated

ON A VERDANT LAWN ADORNED,
by an infinity of Choice Plants, which have triumphantly sustained
their beauty through the fearful winter that has passed.
A SPLENDID CONSERVATORY, NINETY FEET

IN LENGTH,
encircles one-half the domicile ; it has a paved Gallery, which is
in direct communication with the principal rooms. The accommo-
dation within is precisely that which a Gentleman of Fortune, and
not ambitious of being over housed, will desire; the offices are excel-
lent, and fully sufficient. The Gardens so prolific as to need to
auxiliary aid—it is within three hours drive of Southampton, and at
easy distances from Lyndhurst and Lymington, while London, that
in the olden times was far removed, is now brought within
A SIX HOURS' DRIVE.
Such are a few of the outlines connected with Boscomb, the inter-
mediate space will be more satisfactorily filled up by a personal review
of it ; it should, however, be remarked that
A MEMBER OF THE YACHT CLUB
will find himself in clover at Boscomb ; where his yacht may at all
times anchor in perfect security at either of the adjoining
ports of Christchurch and Poole, and in three hours join his Com-
modore, and
THE SQUADRON AT COWES.
The new Romantic watering-place called Borne (one mile distant)
is progressing at a railway pace. The splendid hotel is all but com-
pleted, and in a few short years, it is conjectured that they will
compete with the renown of Southampton
THE DOMAIN IS 190 ACRES
POOR-RATE FREE FROM TYTHE,
AND A LOW .
The lard (which does not pretend to be quite so rich as in the
vale of " Somerset") yields excellent barle3 and oats, and for
Sweedish turnips is not te be excelled in Norfolk. The flocks of
sheep, while they improve the land, add not a little to the annual
income.
The estate may be viewed until the sale, with particulars, plans,
awl a drawing of the villa, which may be had twenty-eight days
prior to the day of sale, at the inns at Christchurch, Lymington,
Poole, and Lyndhurst; the Dolphin, Southampton; Messrs. Lake
and Wilkinson, solicitors, bineoln's Inn ; the Mart, and at Mr.
Robins's office, London.

PICKHURST-GREEN, NEAR HAYES,
within a walk of one mile and a half from Bromley. The country
for miles areund puts on the appearance of
" ONE CONTINUED PARK."
Its never-ceasing woodland scenery is on a par with the most ro-
mantic parts of Kent. It is on the verge of a common, the high-
road passing by the entree. To the admirers of country enjoy-
ment, unalloyed by idle curiosity, its great privacy will be a source
of much enjoyment, and yet it is within a short hour's drive of the
ordinary vocations in London.
THE COTTAGE RESIDENCE
does not aspire to anything beyond that which, by the old interpre-
tation of the word it literally implies, IT IS TO ALL INTENTS
AND PURPOSES A COTTAGE, without any pretension save
only, that a little tact, and a small expenditure may incline it to
assume a higher grade, and the accommodation within, (when the
aid of a little ornament has been added), will be found suited to a
gentleman, who would recreate there half the year : or a retiring
trader, who would make it his constant residence. There is a eery
good garden.
PROLIFIC ORCHARD AND THREE PADDOCKS ;
Beside the advantage of turning out upon the adjacent Common.
A four-stall stable, coach-house, and in the little farm-yard all the
advantages to family comfort ; also a pew in the parish church.

TO BE SOLD IIY,SUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, July 10, at Twelve,
A,SINGULARLY eligible FREEHOLD
pROPERTY, designated
ELFORDLEIGH. . .

The Mansion, 7hAt is one of the features of this vicinity, is
seated or rather it tt,qtl,s under the brow of the Hill, within
Th y, PARK GROUNDS,"

and in view of
THE 011N/O.IENTAL WATERS.
A splendid Conservatory, erected upon the best principle, adorns
this favoured abode. The majestic tin.'ber which ornament
THE HANGING NV OODS,
includes " THE MONARCH OF THE FOREST,"
with Pines of stately growth. The rising grounds afford shelter
from the wintry wind ; while
" THE VALLEY TEEMING WITH WILD FERTILITY,"
refreshes and aids the delightful illusion. In the extensive
Shrubberies which encompass Elfordleigh, the American Plants
and flowering Shrubs, relieved by parterres, projecting rocks, and
the jet Wow' and fountain, form an ensemble of very rare occur-
rence. The Kitchen Gardens are walled, and abound in fruit and
vegetables. The approach to the Mansion is by a rustic lodge
of pleasing defign, and progresses for a mile through the luxuriant
plantations, wherein vistas are judiciously cut to give additional
effect, and vary the delightful scene, until the picturesque valley is
brought into closer contact ; indeed, the situation will hardly yield to
anything throughout this interesting district. It is midway between
IVYBRIDGE AND PLYMOUTH,
" THE RENOWNED WOODS OF SALTRAM"
one side, and Newnham on the other; in the distant scene
MOUNT EDGCOMBE,
kand Morley's, and the Town of Plymouth, are perceptible—aid in
the delightful illusion, and tend materially to heighten the effect of
the picture.

CAERLEON PRIORY, IN MONMOUTHSHIRE, THREE
MILES FROM NEWPORT, WITH THE GROUNDS,
AND PASTURE WHICH ENVIRON IT, AND SMALL

FARMS, AT AN EASY REMOVF.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by the
instructions of T. Hooper, Esq., who is removing to Har-
lington Park, to SELL by AUCTION, at the Hotel in Newport,
on SATURDAY, the 18th of August, at Twelve o'clock,
AN IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE,
which, amongst its manifold qualifications, claims a peculiar interest
from its antiquity.
THE CAERLEON PRIORY
may be traced, from Historical Records, as far back as the 6th
century ; there are still remaining outward and visible signs which
indicate that the town was erected on the site of
A GREAT ROMAN CITY.

It is not pretended that time has not disturbed its original gran-
deur, as little trace of its former greatness is now perceptible. The
Priory, however, seems to have been selected as a favoured trophy
to hand down to a late posterity an incontrovertible proof of pre-
vious celebrity. The reader need not be reminded that Caerleon is
placed on the right bank
OF THE RIVER USK,

in the most enchanting part of Monmouthshire, where the scenery
is resplendent beyond the feeble power of the writer to describe.
But there is a sort of charm (if such an expression may be forgiven)
in its being the sacred spot wherein will be found
KING ARTHUR'S ROUND TABLE
in the meadow, approximating upon the verdant lawn. The walls
still exhibit the most striking remains of their ancient structure.
The south-western side passes
THE AMPHITHEATRE, OR ROUND TABLE
in a direct parrallel to the river Usk, and skirting the lawn of the
Abbey; it is an oval concavity, measuring 74 yards by 64, the
sides gently sloping, are now covered, as well as the bottom, with
turf, and the records from history proclaim it to be on the site of a
Roman amphitheatre. The Priory is indebted to the present
family for having escaped the fearful ravages of a later period. A
very large expenditure, aided by consummate skill, has restored its
bygone imperfections.
THE GOTHIC STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE
prevails throughout, and within there is an admixture of taste and
comfort, that it may be imagined was not to be numbered amid
its early attributes.
There are two approaches, the one leading through the Gothic
Gates at the Lodge, the other passing through
THE TRANQUIL WINDING CLOISTERS.
The effect on entering the principal suite of Gothic rooms
BEGGARS all DESCRIPTION, and yet there is a quiet un-
pretending style that varies and helps the delightful illusion. The
windows below are of ancient painted glass, shedding the
" DIM RELIGIOUS LIGHT,"
and are finely contrasted with the gay and lightsome appearance of
those above. The bed chambers are numerous, and all the offices
seem to harmonize well. The wavy and shaded walks, which en-
circle this Elysium, are enriched by shrubs and flowers—they are
nothing in extent, but every thing in grace and beauty. The
views are extensive, varied, and beautiful ; it is within a morning's
drive of
PIERCEFIELD, TINTERN ABBEY, AND
RAGLAND CASTLE; _ _

and the admirer of field sports may enjoy them here' to his heart's
content, with the best fishing at the foot of its own meadows. A
Yacht is kept, so that aquatic amusement may be added to the detail.
Much more may be urged to enlist the attention of those who desire
to recreate in a Priory amid the most enchanting scenery, and
surrounded by a panoramic view of great extent and loveliness ; but
Mr. Robins prefers to invoke all such as shall be well disposed to
seek occular proof, and return satisfied that the writer by this im-
perfect sketch has not vouchsafed to colour the Landscape sa highly
as it merits. It can only be seen after the Ist inst., by Particulars
and a Dra^'in;, which will be charged One Shilling each, only to
avoid unnecessary and idle intrusion, to be had rf H. Moyston,
Esq., Solicitor, Usk ; at the Plough, Cheltenham ; White Hart,
Bath ; Beaufort Arms, Monmouth ; Barrett's Hotel, Ross; at the
Mart ; and Mr. George Robins's Offices, London.
P.S. THE FARMS, WHICH FORM A DELIGHTFUL
AUXILIARY, WILL EITHER BE ADDED TO THE
PRIORY, OR SOLD IN SEPARATE LOTS.
THE ELEGANT APPENDAGES THROITGHOUT
THE PRIORY MAY BE ADDED TO THE PURCHASE
MONEY, HALF OF 'WHICH MAY REMAIN ON
MORTGAGE.
