IN MONMOUTHSHIRE.
THE BLACK BROOK ESTATE, WITHIN EIGHT
MILES OF ROSS, A RESIDENCE AND 305 ACRES
OF LAND.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
BY MR. GEORGE ROBINS,
At Mr. Barrett's Hotel, iu Ross, on TnUREDAT, the 16th of August,
at One for Two o'Clock exactly,
N EXCEEDINGLY ELIGIBLE PRO-
PERTY, which, during a long course, has uniformly main-
taiLed a high character, and been justly celebrated as
THE BLACK BROOK. ESTATE, AND
ONE OF THE LEADING FEATURES OF THE
COUNTY.
In drawing up an impartial account of this Estate, and pursuing
the plan which Mr. Rebins has uniformly adopted, viz. that of
placing only facts upon record, regarding the properties which he
may be honoured with the directions of, it seems neces,ary here
to premise, that the Mansion upon this Estate, together with its
numerous and appropriate buildings,
COST UPWARDS OF £3,000/.
That since the primary expense, it has subsequently been improved
by a large additional outlay, although during the last five years that
it remained without a tenant suitable to its former pretensions,
substantial repair is not needed, and a very moderate expence will
suffice to put it in thorough ornamental repair. This, however,
when placed in juxta position with the real loveliness of the sur-
rounding scenery, becomes almost a source of congratulation, when
it is remembered that a new possessor can exhibit his talent of
embellishment by a small outlay after his own taste and ideas. A
gentleman disposed to make this purchase, on arriving at Black
Brook will find himself
AMID THE MOST BEAUTEOUS
OF ENGLAND'S FAIREST SCENERY.
The splendid landscape that awaits him, the Claude-like scene
which every where environs the delightful grounds of the Mansion,
the majestic hills and splendid panorama, with the meandering
stream below, form an enshnble of unapproachable beauty.
THE 'DOMAIN IS ABOUT
THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES;
entirely within a ring fence, the greater portion well calculated for
A SHEEP AND TURNIP FARM,
independently of a
SNUG LITTLE DAIRY,
to say nothing of its congeniality for good wheat rind clover.
The residence is erected of stone, and the timber of oak ; it
Possesses all the requisites'for family comfort 'the offices are ample,
and the farm buildings' abundant. There is besides a large and
handsome cottage' farm. suited to the'tenant of the far." '
THE MANOR EXTENDS OVER 3;000 ACRES,
and there is plentrof Shooting and Fishing. The roads are every-
where'good, and the romantic scenery from itos, to Black Brook
can only be appreciated by those who have seen-it.'
