TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, .
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, _ _

At the Auction Mart, London, on Tuunsnnv, 'September 17, at
Twelve, by direction of the highly respectable proprietor.
A Singularly-desirable FREEHOLD PRO-
PERTY, which for many years has been accounted one
of the

LEADING FEATURES OF THIS HIGHLY-INTEREST-
ING COUNTY.
It is desirably situate at an agreeable remove from the two county
towns of Bridgwater and Taunton ; the neighbourhood unusually
respectable, placed in a luxuriant valley, protected from the easterly
winds by hanging woods of fearful height, rising one above another
in majestic grandeur, and continuing to
THE DEER PARK, _

while in the opposite direction the scene is varied to a splendid
VIEW OF MINEHEAD AND
THE RICH COAST OF SOUTH WALES.
ST. AUDRIE'S BAY.

(from which the estate takes its name) is the boundary to this
SPLENDID AND UNEQUALLED DEMESNE.
The elevation of the stone mansion has always been highly eulo-
gised; it partakes of the
MODERN GOTHIC ORDER,
and the portico is strictly in unison ; its outward form is very com-
manding, and within it furnishes a most refreshing contrast to houses
of modern elevation ; it would puzzle one of the most fastidious to
suggest a comfort, or even an essential, that is not conspicuous at
St. Audrie's. The noble paved halls, the staircase, with the library
and dining-room, in carved oak, are welcome first impressions ;
they necessarily insinuate that much more is to be expected, and
the reader may be assured he will not be disappointed. It should
not be overlooked that the offices, both within and without, are of
a character in strict keeping with the whole.
The GARDENS and GROUNDS are QUITE BEAUTIFUL,
and in excellent order.
The GRAND ORANGERY and CONSERVATORY
are not a little ornamental. The plantations are exceedingly ex-
tensive, and contrived in admirable taste to vary the never-ending
scenery that presents itself. The extent of the umbrageous walks
and drives cannot be accounted less than five miles, but who shall
paint or attempt to g►ve a faithful portraiture of
The SPLENDID AMPHITHEATRE of HILLS,

The NEVER-ENDING PANORAMA,
the extraordinary combination of
WOODLAND SCENERY, with
HILL and DALE COMBINED ;
The CONGENIALITY of the CLIMATE ;
and though last, certainly not least, " in our dear love,"

The VAST OCEAN, with the

STUPENDOUS CLIFFS and BEAUTIFUL BAY,
these form a barrier, and are its natural boundary ; added to which,
the proximity of the water holds out to a MEMBER of the
YACHT CLUB great enjoyment and delight, and the capability
to display his skill in naval tactics. The coast of Walei and Mon-
mouthshire's fine country, with Swansea close by, and the
MOUNTAINS of GLAMORGAN and PEMBROKESHIRE
in the distance, are amongst the infinity of interesting objects seen.
Fish is caught at every tide. Indeed, the possessor of this fine
property will be altogether independent of tradespeople, for within
his own little territory is all and every thing he can desire, from the
finest Somerset beef and mutton to grapes and pines that will put
the fame of the horticultural gardens to some hazard. The approach
to the shore is ingeniously managed, and on arriving at the summit
it will not be difficult to foretel that a master-hand has been called
to aid the effect which on a sudden is produced. Within one acre
et thriving plantations are waters of considerable extent, so inge-
niously contrived as to produce as they pass the almost
IMPENETRABLE GLEN, CASCADES, and WATER-

FALLS of CONSIDERABLE EXTENT.

A rural• fishing temple is on the height, seemingly presiding over
the destiny of the unruly and agitated waters.
An ISLAND in the VERY CENTRE of the GLEN

is influential in seducing the wild fowl to congregate there in the
Winter.

The Parish Church is one of the interesting objects from the Park.
In conclusion, it may be said, if we are permitted to approach
Elysium in this world, it will be found at St. Audrie's.
The FARMS and DOMAIN. with

The FINELY TIMBERED and EXTENSIVE DEER PARKS,
are about

'TWELVE HUNDRED and SIXTY ACRES ;
including exco.::it barley and turnip land, a respectable and con-
tented tenantry, at reduced rents ; and it will be seen by referring
to the plan (which will accompany the particulars of sale) that it
is one of the

MOST COMPACT ESTATES IN SOMERSET'S
FAVOURED COUNTY.
The MANOR and MANORIAL RIGHTS

(for a Court is holden)gives-acQequenCoto—thepreperty which
will be better appreciated when it is added that
BLACK COCKS and GROUSE
are in great abundance, and pheasants, partridges, and woodcocks,
in coantless hundreds ; with
FOXHOUNDS and HARRIERS
close at hand. The farm buildings and cottages throughout the
property are of the best description, rents very low, and the tenantry
respectable.
