one of the most distinguished features in

NORTH DEVON'S FAVOURED COUNTY.
All those who are at all familiar with the renown so justly conceded
to this property, will see that " it needeth not the aid of fancy's
sketch." The great difficulty which the humble individual is im-
pressed with who has the conduct of this sale, arises out of his po-
verty of words, or such as should ho sought to aid him in giving a
faint portraiture of a seat which nothing in the country pretends to
rival, and of which history has already given most favourable mca-
tion.

THIS MAGNIFICENT STONE STRUCTURE
was erected at an expense of
FORTY THOUSAND POUNDS,

is placed on elevated ground in the centre of the Manor, with
A FINELY TIMBERED PARK

surrounding it. The architectural form is chaste. It hath two
commanding fronts; on one side is a portico, of
THE GRECIAN DORIC ORDER;
the principal entrance to the north has
A DORIC COLONNADE
of granite, with a carriage-drive under. Within this
SPLENDID SEAT OF HOSPITALITY
will bo found not merely the utnlagr6mens of a first rate establish-
ment, but an admixture of splendour and comfort to such a degree,
tint it is difficult to define which predominates. A task of no
ordinary difficulty presents itself in doing justice within, but
a tolerable notion may be found in one single expression__
the most fastidious judge would be puzzled to find a single
fault—the comprehensive word COMFO:LT reigns triumphantly
throughout, and it bath this remarkable advantage that, with such
an imposing appearance altogether, there has been so much of real
tact displayed, that a moderate sized family will not be doomed to
the hard fate of being over-housed. The oalces are not seen by
means of the plantations ; they are fully commensurate to all the
legitimate wants of a first-rate family;
.and it should be remarked,
that when the Reform Bill gave to this county two additional Mem-
bers, the general impression was that Buckland Mansion would
shortly be the chosen spot for one of them. The next Election will
probably set this matter satisfactorily to rest. The domain and
farms approach

TWO THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND.
The Park, bath peculiar claims to commendation ; it is to
fruitful in every thing that is desirable,. there is so much of
hill and dale, such a delightful inequality every where. The orna-
mental waters and islands, the plantations of luxuriant growth scat-
tered about in pleasing negligence; the undulating lawns, and the
almost

INTERMINABLE WOODS,
vary the scene continually, and form a picture so delightful, the en-
semble is so unapproachable, that Fairy Land v. ill not fail to be
brought immediately into recollection. The gardens are admirably
placed, and of great extent, with • .
HOT-HOUSES, GREEN-HOUSES,
pinery, and melon-ground. The farms, with thriving orchards to
every one, arc all contiguous, and form a sort of circle to tho park,
wherein aro

RIDES AND DRIVES OF MORE THAN THREE MILES

IN EXTENT.
The whole forms a combination which can alone ho appreciated by
ocular demonstration.
THE MANORS, ROYALTIES, AND PRIVILEGES,
will not fail to be duly estimated, and the sporting lord of this
manor, will find that in hunting, shooting, and fishing, he may
gratify himself and friends to his heart's content,

THE CLASSIC LITTLE CHURCH
of Buckland Filleigh approaches the mansion ; there is an ice-

lio-use and hermitage. •
THE TITHE AND POOR RATES
ARE BOTH EXCEEDINGLY LOW;
And the property is well tenanted, (except the Park) which, with
lands connected, are in hand.
The Estate is alike suited to a Capitalist who desires a fair re-
turn of interest, or to an occupier who would live at a moderate
rent. It is fitted up in the best possible manner, and the purchaser
may take the whole at a fair valuation.

Mansion and Park will accompany them. To be had at the
