FULHAM LODGE.

ONE OF THE MOST DELIGHTFUL VILLAS NEAR
THE NIETROPOLIS, IN THE KING'S ROAD, EM-
BOSSOAIED IN ITS DELIGHTFUL GROUNDS, AND
THIRTEEN ACRES INPADDOCKS, FREEHOLD AND
COPYHOLD, WITH A NOMINAL .FINE.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By MR. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, 7th June; at Twtlve o'clock.
A DELIGHTFUL VILLA RESIDENCE,
very long acknowledged as one of the most rechershee in the
environs of the metropolis. Amid its manifold qualifications, the
great desideratum of being within three miles of Hyde Park, is not
the least.

FULHAM LODGE, and its DELECTABLE GROUNDS,
are in the King's Road, and yet so ingeniously placed, that, in its
snug domain, there is all the privacy that is so essential to resrta-
tion, after the bustle and fatigue of professional pursuits the
full grown arid luxuriant plantations exclude it from public gaze.
THE LAWNS ARE RESPLENDENT IN FLOWERS.
AND THE AMERICAN PLANTS, SUPERABUNDANT,
every where, render it almost independent of change its the seasons.
Winter is hardly recognized at Fulham Lodge. It does not aspire
to the character of a Mansion, but it claims to possess every essen-
tial connected with

A DELIGHTFUL VILLA RESIDENCE,
and the offices within and without are alike of a corresponding
description.
THE EXTENSIVE KITCHEN GARDENS
are richly clad with well selected fruit-trees, adorned by Hot and'
Succession Houses, and

The disposition of the Lawn and Pleasure Grounds are worthy
of Repton. There are
THREE RICH PADDOCKS, • -
encompassed by lofty walls and oak paling, affording pasture for two
or three cows, independently of provender for the horse establish-
ment; and the situation is most inviting to those who would live.
without drawing upon the resources of their capital, inasmuch as
a large meadow, enclosed by- lofty walls, and an
IMMENSE FRONTAGE TO THE KING'S ROAD,
may be appropriated to
WELL SECURED GROUND RENTS,
and the adventure would be one without a particle of doubt ; the
tenure is

FREEHOLD 'AND COPYHOLD,
he latter quite equal to the former, subject only to a nominal fine.
May be viewed until the sale—by tickets only. Particulars
at the Villa; of Messrs. Roy, Blunt, Duncan, and Johnston,-
Liverpool-street ; the Mart ; and Covent...garden.

AT SOUTHALL. MIDDLESEX.-A VALUABLE FREE-
HOLD ESTATE, 170 ACRES OF CAPITAL LAND,
WITH AN EXCELLENT VILLA RESIDENCE, SUPE-
RIOR FARM ABODE, LARGE GARDENS AND OR-
CHARDS.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, June 7, at Twelve o'Clock
preCisely, by Direction of the Trustee, for Absolute Sale,
AN exceedingly Valuable FREEHOLD PRO-
PERTY, comprehending a
VILLA RESIDENCE, WITH DELIGHTFUL GROUNDS,
laid out in good taste, and kitchen gardens, prolific beyond measure.
The residence, without pretending to much of modern tactics, has
an infinity of accommodation throughout. The offices • are com-
mensurate (including hunting and nag stalls, with double coach-
house, orchard, and kome paddock); also
THE FERNIE ORNEE CLOSE BY,
with buildings of a superior character, together with a proportionate
quantity of
RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, AND ARABLE LAND,
immediately contiguous, are
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-NINE ACRES,
WITHIN A RING FENCE.
The advantages pertaining to this excellent investment are by no
means of an every-day character—the
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY PASSES THROUGH IT
in two opposite directions, as also
THE GRAND JUNCTION AND PADDINGTON CANALS,
to which it may be added, that it is not far from the Uxbridge
Market. It may be rejoined, where is there a parallel case to con-
vert this fertile soil into a considerable annual revenue? It is in
THE SOCIAL VILLAGE OF SOUTHALL,
and in the direct road to Hounslow.

THE LANDS ARE EXEMPT FRO3I TITHE,
NO LAND-TAX, AND A MODERATE POOR-RATE.
Such are the few temptations held out to invest in the most perfect
security.

•THE DEMESNE
is in no way interrupted by intruders.
TRUSTEES HAVING MONEY TO INVEST
will find this a singularly eligible opportunity of doing strict justice
to their trust.
Particulars may be had at the Red Lion, Southall ; White
Horse, Uxbridge ; of Messrs. Harrison and Dobree, solicitors Hart -
Street, Bloomsbury ; and at Mr. George Robins's Office, in Covent-
garden.

In the SOUTH of DEVON, between IVYBRIDGE and PLY-
MOUTH, the ELFORDLIEGH ESTATE, suited to the
M.P. for the COUNTY, with TWO HUNDRED and
TWENTY-EIGHT ACRES OF LAND, and THRIVING
WOODS AND PLANTATIONS.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, July 10, at Twelve,
it SINGULARLY eligible FREEHOLD
PROPERTY, designated
ELFORDLEIGH.
The Mansion, which is one of the features of this vicinity, is
seated or rather it nestles under the brow of the Hill, within
" THE PARK GROUNDS,"
and in view of
THE ORNAMENTAL WATERS.
A splendid Conservatory, erected upon the best principle, adorns
this favoured abode. Thu majestic timber which ornament
THE HANGING WOODS,
includes " THE MONARCH OF THE FOREST,"
with Pines of stately growth. The rising grounds afford shelter
from the wintry Wing ; 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 d'ean and fountain, form an ensemble of very rare occur-
rence. The Kitchen Gardens are walled, and abound in fruit and
vezisstahles. 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"
on one side, and Newnham on the other; in the distant scene
MOUNT EDGCOMBE,
Lerd Morley's, and the Town of Plymouth, are perceptible—aid in
the delightful illusion, and tend materially to heighten the effect of
'the picture.
PLYM BRIDGE AND RIVER PLYM
give effect to the
FAMED SCENERY OF BICKLEY VALE,
and in the distance the landscape is made perfect by the
CRAGGY MOUNTAINS OF DARTMOOR,
and THE FAMED BREAKWATER.
The neighbourhood stands confessedly without a rival anywhere for
its good fellowship and high respectability. The Mansion is adapted
to a man of fortune.
TIDE STRUCTURE IS OF STONE ; A MODERN ELE-
VATION,
avoiding all the faults of the present school; in its outward form
IT IS OF AN IMPOSING CHARACTER,
and within there is
" THAT WHICH PASSETH SHEW,"
for comfort in its most intelligible form prevails throughout ; the
offices are very commensurate, and the Court-yard encloses excel-
lent stabling for ten horses, and standing for three carriages. By
the way it may not be amiss to allude to the forthcoming
CONTEST FOR THIS DISTRICT,
when the possessor of Elfordleigh will put in very strong claims to
be one of the
REPRVENTATIVES OF THE COUNTY,
if his principles be. Conservative and Liberal, and the motto of
,‘ Hospitality" be appended to the Mansion, it is not impossible he
may

WALK OVER THE COURSE.
The Estate, including the Plantations and Ornamental Woods,
extends to

228 a. 3x. 20P.,
of which a portion is divided into
TWO EXCELLENT FARMS,
with appropriate buildings, respectably occupied.
MINERALS TO SOME EXTENT
have been discovered, as well as clay. There has already been
2,0001. expended in preparatory means whereby to arrive at a
considerable annual revenue ;" indeed this fine property is alto-
',ether fruitful in the multiplicity of its varied attributes.

IN TUSCANY.
A SPLENDID VILLA AND OFFICES, WITHIN 34 MILES
OF FLORENCE, 18 FROM SIENNA, ESPECIALLY
ADAPTED TO ENGLISH COMFORT.
EXTENSIVE GARDENS, AND A DOMAIN OF
THIRTEEN'HUNDRED ACRES,
OF WHICH A LARGE PORTION IS UNCULTIVATED,
AMID THE MOST SPLENDID WOODLAND
SCENERY.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by the
respected Proprietor with instructions to

•
SELL BY' PRIVATE TREATY,
A SINGULARLY ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA
and corresponding Offices, one of those especially adapted to mani-
fest without doubt the immeasurable difference existing in respect
to the comfortless habitation of a Tuscan, and
THE DELIGHT AND SNUGGERY OF AN
ENGLISH GENTLEMAN'S ABODE.
On skis occasion Mr. ROBINS invokes, with all possible
anxiety and humility, that the reader will avail himself of occular
demonstration, as the usual limit of an announcement will neces-
sarily be a poor substitute for the varied charms that encompass
THIS frALIAN PARADISE.
The Traveller need not be reminded that Tuscany is the most
favoured of

ALL THE ITALIAN STATES,
posses'ing a Government directed by an Excellent Prince, whose
urbanity is proverbial, and where religious intolerance, and
THE ENNUI OF A TEDIOUS ENGLISH WINTER,
are alike stringers to the land. It would be exceedingly difficult
to find a parallel case to the property under review;
THE SCENERY IS-OF SURPASSING BEAUTY;
The Climate opposed to all the inclemency of England—roses unceas-
ingly blooming throughout the fearful Winter that has passed ; its
limpid Waters and meandering Streams
AN AMPHITHEATRE OF LOFTY HILLS;
ADORNED BY THE -MONARCH OF THE FOREST,
in countless numbers, with
VALLEYS TEEMING IN WILD FERTILITY.
Independently of this very imperfect sketch of its manifold
attributes, which :soar far above the humble pretensions of the
writer to describe in adequate terms, the worthy Possessor has dis-
covered no inconsiderable tact in having united not only the Ele-
gance and Coziness, (if such a word may be permitted), of an
English fire-side, as - opposed to its comfortless contemporaries,
but adopting beside a system of rural Economy, combined with the
Italian system of Agriculture ; and
A DAIRY IN THE ENGLISH TASTE.
I.
The Mansion is adapted to afford every comfort that a large
Family can desire; yet ingenuity has so far presided, That the Pro-
, prietor, with a limited establishment has never found himself over-
housed. Without this commentary, it might appear a little
astounding to know, that there are Eleven Spacious Rooms on each
suite; a Dining Hall, 40 feet by 24, in heighth and width, and an
infinity of Bed Chambers • the Window, -sills throughout the
Mansion are composed of Cedar and Cypress, a plan entirely op-
posed to Italian notions ; and water laid on throughout the range of
Apartments. ,The Court-yard incloses Stabling for twelve horses,
and standing for four Carfiages.
THE GARDENS ARE ABOUT TWO ACRES,
and exceedingly prolific.
THE DOMAIN INCLUDES _ •
THIRTEEN HUNDRED ACRES.

( A great portion still remains to be cultivated. I—The produce is
CORN,.WINE, AND OIL, IN GREAT ABUNDANCE ;
with fuel from the neighbouring forest to be had without end, and at
no expense. There are strong indications of minerals to seduce
those who aim at a large income ; and the economist who sojourns
here will Ind a very moderate revenue equal to the loitimate
expenditure of a splendid establishment. A drawing of the Man-
sion, which gives but an imperfect notion of its vanhus beauties,
may be seen, and it should have been remarkedetbat if early pos-
session be desirable, the abode is complete, and handsomely fur-
nished in the English style, to be included in the purchase of the
property.
" THE FEE SIMPLE OF THE WHOLE"

may be accomplished by moderate means.
Full particulars may be obtained at Mr. Robins' Offices, in
Covent-garden.

AMOST IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ES-
TATE, suitable to an Investment, and with Prospective
views,•as connected with

THE BOROUGH TOWN OF PETERSFIELD,
that will necessary be very encouraging
" THE ASHFORD LODGE ESTATE"
. . .

is within two short miles of the townlthe direct Post Road from
thenee to Oxford passing through it. It contains
SIX HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND,
of an excellent quality. The property is exceedingly compact.:
THE ELEGANT VILLA RESIDENCE
stands, or rather nestles, under the shadow of the hills, placed in
the luxuriant valley, screened through the wintry months by a range
of lofty hills. The views are resplendent beyond measure.
THE ALPINE MOUNTAIN SCENERY
. _ _

is brought to recollection, imparting a wildness which is strongly
contrasted by the numberless beauties strewed by the hand of art
over its surface, and gradually declining into the richly wooded
dales. The mountains, with the bright aerial tints; the valley
teeming with wild fertility ; the deep and hollow glens ; the mean-
dering of the waters, render the scene altogether One that the writer
finds it very difficult. to do justice to.
BRIGHTON, SPITHEAD, AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT,

ARE CLEARLY PERCEPTIBLE.
The Estate is divided into snug Farms. The reduced rental,
including
THE GALLANT ADMIRAL'S VILLA ABODE,
and 35 acres of land,
THE TITHES OVER THE PARISH,
TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED ACRES,
and the cottage rents, altogether exceed
ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS A-YEAR.
The manor is extensive, and the tenantry happy and contented.
By way of conclusion it may be observed, that if honour, as well
as profit, be " in the mind's eye" of the intended purchaser, he
will find it realised here. A portion of the six hundred acres,
within the limits of the Borough, may be so divided and added to
the cottage rental, so that a moderate portion of ingenuity would
alone be wanting to increase the number of Independent Electors,
so as to render

THE SEAT FOR THE BOROUGH TOWN•OF
PETERSFIELD
a most probable event. Indeed the investment is altogether quite
unexceptionable.
