THISTLE-GROVE, OLD BROMPTON.
A COTTAGE VILLA, QUITE UNIQUE, on a MODERATE
SCALE, ENVIRONED by its DELIGHTFUL GROUNDS, DIS-
POi,ED in UNUSUALLY GOOD TASTE, and the VILLA so

CHASTE as to be WELL WORTHY of IMITATION.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is deputed by the
respectable proprietor to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETI-
TION, at the Auction Mart, en THURSDAY, the 30th of July, at
Twelve o'clock, a
SINGULARLY ELEGANT MODERN VILLA,

upon a scale not too large.
IT IS A BIJOU OF THE FIRST WATER,
and will not be appreciated save only by a personal review of it,
when it will be confessed it stands alone for the infinity of charms
which surround it. Thistle-grove is at Old Brompton, with ready
access to Kensington-gardens and Hyde-park, and the de -
lightini abode is placed in a little sequestered spot, just removed from
the noise and bustle of the public road. It partakes of the quietude
and repose so essential to good taste and a country life, with a prox-
imity to the metropolis of little more than a short mile. The Villa
displays a proud distinction over all its neighbouring rivals. It is a
solid piece of architecture, based on the Corinthian order, adorned
by a conservatory in capital taste, with painted glass. And within
THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM

comfort is conspicuous in every department, and finished with a
degree of taste that will amply repay a ride from the metropolis.
The tact that prevails is of a peculiar cast; it disdains the prevailing
order, and takes the lead without any fear from a contemporary ;
indeed, ingenuity may be taxed, for it would be puzzled, to discover
a single want, and Mr. Robins invokes all those who would
POSSESS AN INCOMPARABLE GEM
to seek ocular demonstration, and thus confirm this moderate report. It
stands within an acre (or perhaps less) of ground, laid out in such
good taste, that Repton would have gladly hailed it as his own off-
spring, and the ingenuity of separating the kitchen garden from the
extended and beautiful lama is a master-piece of of ingenuity. At
the extreme end is
A BEAUTIFUL HOT-HOUSE,
heated by warm water, and finished in a superior manner. Thei eis
close by, but entirely unseen, a two-stall stable, two coach houses,
and harness-room, a loose box, with coachman's rooms, and hay
depository above. In respect to the Villa, without fatiguing the
reader with a lengthened detail, it may suffice to state there are
four superior Company (they might be called State) Rooms ; the de-
coration throughout is worthy of Mr. Fairs; indeed it cannot be
exceled. The doors of the Drawing-room are distinguished by plate
glass and the windows with stained glass. These apartments are so
perfect that really Elysium is brought to recollection. There are
live bed-chambers and dressing-rooms, with a comodlte, • well
placed ;
A CAPITAL BATH-ROOM,
well constructed ; and there are two bed-rooms for the females, and,
over the coach-houses two for the males. On the basement Is a su-
perior kitchen, with larder butler's pantry, and every essential
appendage to comfort and be it known, every place is not only in
the best keeping, but also in the best possible order. There can be
no need to unloose the purse-strings, for Ingenuity cannot find occa-
sion for the slightest outlay. The entree is well managed; from
ground not otherwise required. Indeed, atter taking much pains to
discover room for improvement, Mr. Robins had the satisfaction to
find his ingenuity could not accomplish it.
THE WHOLE IS FREEHOLD,
so that a purchaser has the pleasing knowledge that his comforts
may descend to his latest posterity, without the alloy of fresh and
expensive renewals.
The taste and style of the villa and Its appendages throughout
will incline a purchaser to avail himself of the power to take it all
as it stands, at a valuation, but this is quite optional. The fixtures
and planned furniture alone is imperative. It can of course only be
seen with ticket, and during the hours from twelve to four.
Particulars had at the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's
offices, Covent-garden.
