MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL
by AUCTION, at the Royal Hotel, Teignmouth, on
TUESDAY, the 21st of August, at Twelve o'clock-for One, in
Two Lots,

A SPLENDID
GOTHIC VILLA RESIDENCE,
fitted up throughout in the pure taste
OF THE ELIZABETHAN SCHOOL,

and only recently completed under the superintendence of Mr. Gregg,
a very promising and talented architect, of Exeter. The Edifice,
•
from its commanding appearance, has already acquired the distin.
guished title to rank FIRST amongst its multitudinous compeers.
The order of architecture is perfect, and there is within a corres-
ponding taste throughout—everything appears in good keeping, and
the situation is pre-eminently calculated to increase its renown. It
is placed on,the rising ground which gently reclines into the town,
and, amongst a hundred varied views which are developed, the
CONFLUENCE OF THE RIVER TEIGN WITH THE SEA
will not fail to be appreciated. Villas of less pretensions are seen
in. many directions, varied by
' "THE WATERS AND. WOODS,"
and the luxurious valley below, with Babbicomb in the distant
view, presents a landscape that may be imagined, although it
would be exceedingly difficult tb describe it. The grounds con-
nected with thisenchanting villa, although of recent creation, give
promise of great luxuriance. They are adorned by flowering shrubs
and American plants in countless numbers ; around which are the
prolific pastures extending to about ten acres. The accommoda-
tion within the Mansion is every thing that a family can by pos-
sibility require, and all stch as have impaired their health in
foreign climes, or been valetudinarians; the climes (and more
especially on the summit of this lofty eminence, constantly partak-
ing of the genial influence of the sea breeze, and moderated as it
progresses through the woodland scenery in the valley, which alone
separates it from the ocean), willinfallibly restore them to health,
and thus secure the great desideratum of longevity. Also
EAST TEIGN3IOUTH HOUSE,
a most comfortable family residence, in 'the •opposite direction to
the villa, and more

CLOSELY IN ALLIANCE WITH THE SEA.
Within this abode will be found all the comfort that a large establish-
ment may desire ; and approaching to the town, it is enveloped in
grounds of nearly one acre, adorned by a lawn and extensive shrub-
beries of great beauty, terminated by a small conservatory. An in-
valid who may be advised to seek the Madeiras for the restoration
of health, will find an admirable substitute here. The congeniality
of this climate is proverbial, as the medical world (malheuruse
ment for them) have long since discovered at Teignmouth. There
is a Court-yard loci ising a double, coach-house, four-stall stable,
and laundry ; in fact nothing appeal s wanting, unless Mr. Robins
proclaims, with his usual adherence to candoUr and truth, that a
little embellishMent throughout will be found desirable, by which
it is to be understood that although the structure needs no substan-
tial aid, the hand of a decorator may be used to advantage. From
the principal rooms, all of which are well proportioned, the views
are exceedingly delightful.
It approaches the Sea, and TORQUAY and BABBICOMB in
the distance, with its famed Picturesque Scenery, aid materially in
perfecting the picture. By way of conclusion, it shockl
be stated that the climate is so unsophisticated and.pure that Win-
ter is almost a stranger to the land, and while other watering
places put on a cheerless and solitary character during, the Winter,
Tcignmouth is full of the best company. The
FROPEIITY ALL. FREEHOLD,
and to be sold on
