IN DEVON,

NEAR TO EXETER, THE FARRINGDON ESTATE,
880 ACRES OF CAPITAL LAND, AND THE MANO-
RIAL RIGHTS.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, the 9th of June, at Twelve
o'Clock, by direction of the Executors, in one Lot, and unre-
servedly.
THE FARRINGDON ESTATE is all freehold,
1 and has long been familiar to she Public as the admired
Property of
JOHN BURRIDGE CHOLWICH, Esq.,
Who domiciliated in this favoured abode for a period extending to
more than 60 years ; one of the favourable conclusions which may
be elicited from this fact is the apparent certainty that Longevity
will be yielded as one amongst its many attributes, and to an East
Indian in doubtful health, it will indeed prove a God-send of infi-
nitely higher value than his wealth. It is situate within 6 miles of
THE CITY OF EXETER,

A little removed from the high mail road from London to Plymouth,
THE BISHOP'S COURT ESTATE
Is about 2 miles off, and
SIR THOMAS DYKE ACKLAND'S,

with the bold and splendid scenery of Killerton is in view, while the
fashionable watering-places, Sidmouth, Exmouth, and Dawlish, are
within an hour's drive.
THE MANSION-HOUSE
was originally constructed with the intention to accommodate most
fully a respectable family. It was erected at a time when outward
appearance succumbed to real comfort. It has subsequently moved
with the march of improvement, and a drawing, with the particulars
of sale, will demonstrate beyond doubt that, without pretending to
rival the seats of great eminence in the vicinity, it hath claims of
no ordinary character, and certainly more congenial to the intentions
of those who do not aspire to an expensive establishment. It is
seated in its

PARK-LIKE GROUNDS,
and a full grown plantation and shrubbery walk environs the whole.
THE PLEASURE GROUNDS
are sufficiently extensive, and planned in good taste.
THE FRENCH GARDEN
approximates upon
THE CONSERVATORIES AND HOT AND SUCCESSION

HOUSES,
and the Ice House is not far off. The out-offices are of the very
first description, and in excellent order. The Kitchen Gardens, en-
compassed by lofty brick walls, are clothed with the choicest fruits.
The Farm-yard is fully adequate, and judiciously placed.
THE DOMAIN EXTENDS TO

EIGHT HUNDRED and SIXTY ACRES of GOOD LAND,
EXONERATED FROM THE LAND TAX ;
divided into snurr little Farms, respectably occupied, and
THE RENTS PUNCTUALLY PAID.
The latter observation inclines Mr. Robins td suggest to TRUS-
TEES WHO HAVE MONEY TO INVEST IN LAND, that
the Farringdon Estate hath peculiar claims to their attention,
since the Rental is not supposititious. The scenery for which this
immediate spot is remarkable, has so long been,appreciated, that it
can only be necessary to ask, " Where even in Devon's never ending
enchantment can it be surpassed?"
THE MANORIAL RIGHTS

are an appendage by no means valueless to those who enjoy the
sports of the fieIdAMOUS. Hunting and fishing withi n reach, and the
F
has not merely the peculiarity of serving the Mansion with every
thing that ingenuity and good taste can present, but it affords at the
same time a never-failing source to dispose of the produce of the
farms to great advantage. A SWISS COTTAGE cleverly planned
may be numbered amongst the agremens of Farringdon. The abode
is by no means out of order, but it is as well to observe that those
whose taste inclines them to the present, rather than the comfort
arid snuggery of the olden tines, may indulge in their propensity at
Farringdon.
It can be viewed by particulars only, which will be accompanied
by a plan and drawing, to be had gratuitously at the office of Messrs.
Wood and Patch, Solicitors, Tiverton, and Mr. Wright, Land-agent
of the same place; Mr. James, Solicitor, Exeter; Messrs. Winburn
and Collett, Chancery-lane : also at the New London Hotel, Exeter;
the Hotels Plymouth and Devonport ; at the White Hart, and Bath
Journal Office, Bath; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's
Offices, London.

THE BUCKLAND FILLEIGH ESTATE, IN NORTH
DEVON.

MR. GEORGE .ROBINS has the honour to
announce that he has received instructions front 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
BUCKL AND FILLEIGH,
ono 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 already given most favourable men-
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 be found not merely the usual agrlmens of a first rate establish-
ment, but an admixture of splendour and comfort to such a degree,
that 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 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,
be the chosen
sthe general impression
spotmpres forsio wasenneof b
tthaein. T
t B uckblar nlet Mansion
Election w ould
shortly will
probably set this matter satisfactorily to rest. The domain and
farms approach
TWO THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND.
The Park, 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 islands, the plantations ofluxuriant growth scat-
tered about in pleasing negligence; the undulating lawns, and the
almost
