THE RICH HOP-GROUNDS

that are clotted about in every direction. The Castle is not more
than commensurate to the legitimate objects of a respectable family,
as it was originally designed for, and is entirely adapted to comfort
in its comprehensive form, with offices within and without, so com-
plete as to leave no wish or inclination ungratified.
THE NOBLE TERRACE-WALK,
is adorned by little thousands of American and Flowering Shrubs,
that have weathered the by-gone'Winter's piercing cold, and thus
demonstrated the congeniality and mildness of the climate.
THE PLEASURE AND KITCHEN GARDENS
arc abundant, and there are PROLIFIC ORCHARDS, the pro-
duct of which is almost incalculable. Around
THE CASTLE DEMESNE ARE
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT ACRES,
disposed in

WOODS, PLANTATIONS, MEADOW
PASTURE, ARABLE AND HOP GROUNDS,
entirely within, a rin_g fence a portion of which is
TITHE FREE, AND LAND TAX REDEENIED.
The soil throughout is excellent; the produce generally so abun-
dant, as to incline a gentleman to agricultural pursuits, while the
predUce from

TIIE HOP PLANTATIONS
hath alone, and not unfrequently, brought 700/. and 800/. into the
treasury. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; and if gaiety
be numbered amongst the anxieties of a new possessor,
-TONBRIDGE WELLS
will afford him ample scope; and a limited visit to Wadhurst
Churchyard will cheer the inquirer with the probability of a long
life. Longevity is therein proclaimed to be one of the delights of
this estee
estate, rued neighbourhood. There is plenty of game upon the
and the farming lands are all well .supplied with water.
The Second Lot will include
THE PLEASURE FARM, TITHE-FREE„
LOCKS HOUSE and GROUNDS in 'WADHURST TOWN
The residence is adapted to a genteel occupation. Mr. Collis, the
solicitor, occupies it, with the garden and offices.
THE FARM EXTENDING TO ONE HUNDRED AND

- - - -
TWELVE ACRES
is one of the best and most profitable in the vicinity, and the Hop
Plantations unusually productive.
THE PROPERTY. IS ALL FREEHOLD,
and it may be affirmed without the slightest expectation that ally
one can gainsay it, that for a residence or Investment it would be
no easy task to discover a parellel case.
Particulars, with a beautiful Drawing and Plan, to view the
Castle, may
each, only be had Six Weeks antecedent to the Sale (for sixpence
y to avoid idle intrusion), at the best Inns and Libraries at
Tonbridge Wells, }lasting., and St. Leonards; also at Seven Oaks
and Tonbridge Town ; of Alessrs. Harrison, Solicitors, South ampton-
buildings ; the Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London.

ALL THE ITALIAN STATES,
possessing a Government directed by an Excellent Prince, whcse
urbanity is proverbial, and where religious intolerance, and
TEIE ENNUI OF A TEDIOUS ENGLISH WINTER,
are alike strangers 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 un-
ceasingly blooming throughout the fearful Winter that has passed ;
its limpid Waters and meandering Streams ;
PAN AMPHITHEATRE OF LOFTY HILLS ;
ADORNED BY THE MONARCH OF THE FOREST,
in countless numbers, with
VALLIES 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.
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 ovcr-
housed. Without this commentary, it might appear a little as-
tounding to know that there are Eleven Spacious Rooms on each
suite; a Dining flail, 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 ineloses Stabling for twelve horses,
and•standing for four Carriages.
THE GARDENS ARE ABOUT TWO ACRES,

and exceedingly prolific.
THE DOMAIN INCLUDES
THIRTEEN HUNDRED ACRES.

( A great portion still remains to be cultivated.) 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 find a very moderate revenue equal to the legitimate
expenditure of a splendid establishment. A drawing of the Man•
sion, which gives but an imperfect notion of its various beauties,
may be seen, and it should have been remarked that 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.
