A MOST INTERESTING ANCIENT MANORIAL ESTATE,
FREEHOLD of INHERITANCE, CATESBY ABBEY,
situated in a beautiful part of Northamptonshire, four ifilles from
Daventry, six from Weedon Station, about fourteen from the county
town, not far distant from Leamington, and within sight of War-
wickshire.-

This famed property is briefly noticed in " Dugdale's Monasticm "
as Catesby Nunnery, and since more particularly described in the
" Beauties of Northamptonshire ;" and to which the reader is re-
ferred. It pr,,sents strong claims to those who would invest with
security, and at the same time pos.ess some feeling of admiration for,
and who know how to appreciate the charm and importance con-
nected with an estate possessing so many interesting relics of an-
tiquity, and since that period the true stamp of the good old English
time. The first object of importance to be noticed is
THE ANCIENT MANOR HALL,
an abode of singular pretension, erected with due regard to dura-
bility, placed in the centre of the domain, and commanding from its
front a quiet, picturesque, and lovely scene. It is a quaint and sin-
gular building in stone, of a very early period, containing aumerous
lofty and well-proportioned chambers, many of them enriched with
fine old carved oak, offering every accommodation for a large family,
which, if assisted by a tasteful and judicious outlay for embellishment
and furniture, in accordance with its character, a residence not only
of the first importance but of extraordinary attraction would be
obtained.

A PORTION OF ONE WING IS DEVOTED TO A CHAPEL,

DULY CONSECRATED,
fitted up with carved oak pulpit; reading-desk, and pews, arid con-
stantly used for Divine service. The oiltces are numerous, and open
to a spacious court-yard, opposite to•which is a capital range of
stabling, coach-houses, &c. A pleasure garden of some extent, laid
out with much taste is in front, and a
ROOKERY, WITH A BEAUTIFUL GROVE OF LOFTY LIMES
close to the mansion, whilst a road through
A NOBLE AVENUE OF STATELY ELMS,
leads to an ancient cemetery, and the' ruins of a chapel, a time-
hallowed spot of singular beauty, presenting a highly interesting
feature, the interesting village of eatesby, in all its pristine quietude,
being close at hand, forming no small Addition to the importance and
rental of the estate. Several Ash-ponds adorn the grounds, particu-
larly one of considerable proicnise, encircled -by a grove of finely
grown trees, where numerous wild-fowl congregate, and a, never-
failing supply of fish is obtained.
THE DOMAIN INCLUDES 64& ACRES OF FIRST-R t,TE LAND,
principally the richest pasture, well supplied with water, and several
woods, affording excellent preserves for game, in the parishes of
Catesby and Ilallldon, divided into
FIVE CONVENIENT FARMS,
each with suitable residences, the principal farm having a newly
erected abode, with capital buildings, let upon leases to a highly
respectable tenantry, and producing a rental exceeding 1,0001, a-year,
but there can be no question a considerable increase may be obtained.
The annual value, with the mansion house and land attached to it,
being estimated under the most adverse times for a farmer, at snore
than 1,5001. A YEAR,

!eluding the manorial rights and other sources of profit.
Mr. Robins cannot close this announcement without calling upon
the capitalist to pay a visit to Catosby Abbey, in the full rssurance
that it possesses true elements for permanent investment of capital
and real enjoyment of country life.
