TIIE CELEBRATED AND INTERESTING PROPERTY,
LYPIATT PARK AND DEMESNE,

Freehold of inheaitance, and for its beauty challenges a comparison
with the most favoured spots throughout England ; indeed tew places
can boast of more natural advantages; it is two miles only from
Stroud, from whence access to all parts, north, south, east, and west,
is readily obtained, twelve from Cheltenham, and within three hours'
ride of London,
IN THE MOST LOVELY PART OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE,
vpproached by a Castellated Lodge on one side, and on the other
through a stately avenue of trees, to a beautiful terrace on which
the mansion is seated, from whence the greater part of the estate is
commanded, diversified by hill and dale, wood and water, presenting
an extensive panorama, a rookery in the distance, from thence de-
scending through a thorn grove to a mead of surpassing quietude
and richness, bounded by
A WOOD OF NOBLE BEECH TREES,

and of great extent, through which winds a path impervious to the
summer's heat, catching ever and anon the most charming peeps of
the varying scene, a portion of
THE CASTELLATED MANSION
of the
GOTHIC ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE .

is of ancient eriiin,iiavii7tibeen occupied during an early period of
history by several Catholic families of eminence.
THE VENERABLE TURRETTED CHAPEL AND DOVECOTE,
with a portion of the building, bearing evidence of great antiquity,
but its interest is increased by its having been the abode of the cele-
brated Sir J. Throekmorton,
THE PROJECTOR OF THE GUNPOWDER PLOT,
who held many private meetings in one of the chambers, which is
still preserved. The estate passed through several hands, and,
during the war of the Commonwealth, sustained its heaviest de-
vastatson.
SIR PAUL BAGOT,

conceived the reSteration and extension of the Mansion in the Olden
style of architecture, and, with
THE ASSISTANCE AND EXPERIENCE OF
SIR JEFFERY WYATTYILLE,
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 chateau that can be found amongst
England's boasted beauties. Of the exterior it is impossible to speak
too much in praise ; its ivy-mantled towers and walls, noble Oriel
windows, turreted embattlements and cloistered avenue, form a
tout ensemble which cannot fail 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•hail 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 OF THE BATTLEMENTED 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 DOMAINEXTSNDS 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 objection does not exist which can militate against the
true enjoyment of it ; if the purchaser be inclined to politics,
A SEAT FOR THE BOROUGH OF STROUD

may fairly be calculated upon. Pews in the pariah churches of
Stroud and Bisley appertain to the property, and the outgoings are un-
usually moderate. Also, the extensive and
VALUABLE MANORIAL RIGHTS

connected with the estate.
A full description of the internal arramgement of the mansion will
