IN HERTS.

A CAPITAL VILLA RESIDENCE, ON A LARGE
SCALE, WITH ITS DELIGHTFUL PARK, PLANTA-
TIONS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS, EXTENDING
TO NEAR 100 ACRES, 'TWELVE 'MILES FROM
LONDON.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is' directed by the
Proprietor to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in
London, on THURSDAY, the 28th of August, at Twelve o'Clock,
in One Lot,
A distinguished FREEHOLD VILLA, modelled on
THE ITALIAN SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

in its exterior, and a darn; all the comfortless appearance within
that is too apparent in the Italian provinces. It was purchased some
twelve years since by
TIIE RIGHT HON. LORD NORTHLAND,
when it had assumed the character only of a minor Villa. By
means of an expenditure that has extended to at least
TEN THOUSAND POUNDS,
and the advantage of extraordinary tact and judgment, it may now
claim to rank high upon the moat distinguished abodes of London's
vicinity ; it presents a double front, and it would be somewhat
difficult to proclaim which of the two predominates. A Colonnade
and Veranda enhances the effect, beside affording facility to indulge
in the luxuriant view which encompasses it on every side. The
ensemble is as nearly perfect as a combination of art and nature
can combine, and the delightful illusion is completed by
A SPLENDID CONSERVATORY OF THE
SCHOOL.

The Lawns are adorned by countless thousands of plants and
shrubs. The Parterres and Walks laid out with consummate
taste extending to many acres, adorned by stately timber until it
approaches
THE PARK AND ORNAMENTAL WATER

continuing the scene, which is really one approaching Elysium.
The new made and thickly-grown plantations—the rural bridge—
the French gardens, and the hermitage, termin)%tes in a picture of
surpassing beauty.
THE SPLENDID ABOD4
is commensurate to all the legitimate desires of a family of high
pretensions ; there is an admixture of comfort and elegance that
required the
MASTER MIND OF AN ARTISTE
to arrive at. On an emergency, it has facilities to accommodate a
tigsT OF VISITORS ;
yet ingenuity has so contrived it, that there is a total absence of
that comfortless feeling which belongs to the significant term of
being over-housed. It will be found, however, that although it
does not aspire to allthe attributes of
CA S lIIOBURY PARK,

its neighbouring and vuccessful rival, yet for comfort and accommo•
dation, it will not yield one jot.
THE DOMAIN IS NEAR
ONE HUNDRED ACRES OF PARK GROUNDS

and prolific meadows, including the extensive plantations, lawns,
and pleasure grounds. The kitchen-gardens are fully equal to
supply the family. 'I here is beside a grapery and melon grounds.
'I he society far and trar is remarkable for its social qualities ; and
sl‘orting in its comprehensive form may be numbered amongst its
fruit itud:nous agreinens. It should have been observed that for a
winter- residence it claims precedence of any neighbouring com-
iwer. It is secluded by its richly wooded scenery from the piercing
cold; and the by-gone winter has given proof as " strong as Holy
Writ" to this assertion, inasmuch as the plants have been sustained
triumphantly throughout the fearful season that has passed. The
inan4on, by means of a peculiar stove, is warmed by hot water; and
in depth of winter, cold is estranged from this mansion of comfort.
It can only be viewed by cards. Particulars, with a Drawing
(at 6d. each) may be had 21 days' prior to the sale at the principal
Inn at Watford, Elstree, and Stanmore ; of Messrs. Capron, Well,
Dawson, and Brabant, Saville-row; the Mart; and the ()dices in
Covent-garden.
