SIR PAUL BAGOT,

conceived the restnrationandextension of the Mansion in the Olden
style of architecture, and, with
THE ASSISTANCE AND EXPERIENCE OF
SIR JEFFERY WYATTVILLE,

reared a most beautiful structure ; but it was left to the present pro-
prietor to alter, improve, and bring to perfection, for its size, the
most elegant and complete„chateaw.tkaVn be found amongst
England's boasted beapues. the ex era Impoststbio opook,
too much in pfaise ; its ivy-mantled tower -nriti walls, noble Oriel
windows, turreted errtbattlements and. cloistered - aventtb, form a
tout ensemble which cannot fall to please'the mind's eye of the most
fastidious in classical architecture ; whilst in the interior the effect,
is one of surpassing elegance and variety, combining taste with
comfort, and nobility with simplicity ; from each window the most
lovely and diversifying scene is presented, and from those of
THE NOBLE. CORRIDOR THE MONK'S GARDEN
is seen in all the quietude and repose necessary for contemplation.
The family arrangements leave nothing to be desired; the bed-
chambers are ample and most delightful, and the reception rooms of
singular elegance ; whilst the noble dining-hall cannot fail to be
admired.

THE GROUNDS WHICH ENCOMPASS THE MANSION
are delightfully disposed, ornamented with noble trees of every
description gracefully feathering to the ground, particularly many
time-honoured oaks, and a row of remarkable sycamores, which add
their importance to the scene, and from
THE BASTIONS or THE RATTLEMENTED TERRACE
the most lovely and extended view, unsurpassable for richness of
foliage andverdant pasture, is presented, whilst at all times a health-
ful and dry promenade is afforded. The Garden is well laid out, and
a walk, clothed with the choicest evergreens leading to some extent,
lends its aid to vary the attractions.
The Offices may be pronounced perfect, and the Court-yard, enclos-
ing the Carriage Houses and Stabling for eleven horses, is most ex-
cellent, the Farm Yard close at hand.
THE DOMALNEXTENDS TO 231 ACRES

the whole being admirable pasture, and woods watered with
numerous springs and ponds of delicious water, and capable of
feeding to almost any extent, and consequently rendering the estate
not only one of importance but of profit ; a stone wall, judiciciously
screened from view, encompasses the property, and it may fearlessly
be added, an elkjection does not exist which can militate against the
true enjoyment of it ; if the purchaser be inclined to politics,
A mei! FOR THE BOROUGH OF STROUD

may fairly be calculated upon. Pews In the parish churches of
Stroud and Bisley appertain to the property, and the outgoings are un-
usually moderate. Also, the extensive and
