THE BUCKLAND FILLEIGH ESTATE, IN NORTH

DEVON.

[ncluding the very distinguished Mansion, Park, and Farms, ap-
proximating upon it, near Two Thousand Acres, subject to ex-
ceedingly moderate tithe and poor-rate. The splendid Furniture
and appendages to the Mansion may be taken at a valuation, and
possession immediately.

lip. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to
announce that he has received instructions from the Mort-
gagee, who has full power of sale, to OFFER to PUBLIC COM-
PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the
9th of June, at Twelve o'clock, in one Lot,
THE SPLENDID SEAT CALLED
BUCKLAND FILLEIGH,
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 be 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 aheady given most favourable men-

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

is placed on eleTaA ted ground in the centre of the Manor, with
FINELY TIMBERED PARK

surrounding it. The architectural form is chaste. It bath two
commanding fronts; on one side is a portico, imposing in appear-
ance, of THE GRECIAN DORIC ORDER ;
the principal entraA nce to the north has
DORIC COLONNADE

of granite, with a carriage-drive under. Within this
SPLENDID SEAT OF HOSPITALITY
will be found not merely the usual agremens of a first rate establish-
anent, but an admixture of splendour and comfort to such a degree,
that it is difficult to define which predominates. A drawing, which
will accompany the particulars of sale, gives a tolerable outline
of the exterior. It is, however, a task of no ordinary difficulty to
do justice within. 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 COMFORT reigns triumphantly
throughout, and it hath 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 offices 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,
including the Park, which hath peculiar claims to commendation ;
it is so 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 island, 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 will not fail to be
brought immediately into recollection. The gardens aro admirably
placed, and of groat extent, with
HOT-HOUSES, GREEN-HOUSES,
pinery, and melon-ground. The farms, with thriving orchards to
every one, are all contiguous, and form a sort of circle to the park,
wherein are
RIDES AND DRIVES OF MORE THAN THREE MILES

IN EXTENT,
through luxuriant woods and plantations, rendered still snore in-
teresting by the hollow glens and deep ravines, terminating with a
terrace walk in the green drive ; the whole forms a combination
which can alone be 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; with a multitude
of wild fowl on his own waters ;

THE CLASSIC LITTLE CHURCH
of Buckland Filleigh approaches the mansion, and forms an inte-
resting appendage to the property ; there is beside an ice-house and
hermitage. Such is a very moderated outline of one of the most
renowned properties in Devon's highly gifted county.

THE TITHE AND POOR RATES
ARE BOTH EXCEEDINGLY LOW.

The property is well tenanted, (except the Park) which, with
lands connected, are in hand.'
The property 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 purchase'
may take the whole at a fair valuation.
Plans will be ready twenty-eight days antecedent to the sale, and
a drawing of the Mansion and Park will accompany them. To be
