KENSINGTON PARK.
THE LANSDOWN VILLAS, SUITED TO RESPECTABLE
OCCUPANTS, HELD FOR N►NETY-NINE YEARS; THE
SITUATION IG PERFECTLY IRRESISTIBLE.
Y MR. GEORGE ROBINS, at the AUC-
T lON MART, on THURSDAY, the Bth of October, at Twolvi
o'clock, in four Lots.
Four exceedingly pretty villas, adapted to families not too large,
Nos. 3,4, 5, and 6,

IN KENSINGTON PARK,
AND DISTINGUISHED AS LANSDOWN VILLAS,
in a neighbourhood that now claims (and without any mistake) to
stand higher in public estimation than anything around this great
metropolis. The four abodes will be sold in separate lots—two are
most respectably occupied by solid tenants, on short leases, at eighty
guineas each, and in flee years must of necessity reach 100 guineas
a-year, and there are two just completed in the same superior
style ready for occupation or investment, for a term of
near ninety-nine years, at a ground rent of only 121. 10s.
a year each. The nature of the abodes, which have been
so feebly represented, forms a refreshing contrast to most competitors
in the vicinity of the Metropolis (always excepting the immense
assemble of villas recently erected by the persevering and clever
exertions of Mr. Reynolds, whose work certainly approaches that
which is now under our consideration). The substantiality of the
villas should be seen, to be appreciated ; it will be a lesson to all com-
petitors to hide their diminished heads.
THE CHURCH OF ST. JOHN
presents a great and valuable feature ; it is placed in the centre of
this MAGNIFICENT TOWN OF VILLAS.
THE EXTENSIVE GARDENS AND A PARK
(the latter claiming to be au advantage without any parallel case) ren-
der this position the most interesting and delightful spot anywhere.
There is access to London every five minutes during the whole day.
The occupants and entire neighbourhood not to be surpassed for
their respectability. In short, of the property under consideration,
too much cannot well be said.
