IN HANTS, CLOSE TO CHRISTCHURCH,
The SPLENDID MARINE RESIDENCE, PARK, and
DEMESNE.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS has been instructed to
SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on
THURSDAY, the 13th June, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,

A DISTINGUISHED AIARINE VILLA,

completed within a few years, regardless of expense, and is unques-

tionably one of the
MOST ATTRACTIVE FEATURES OF TIIE COUNTRY.
THE BURE HOMAGE
is within two short miles of Christchurch and the Sea.
THIS SPLENDID MANSION

displays considerable taste. The architectural skill cannot be tco
highly panegyrised--tbere is a bold commanding appearance—such
an imposing front as to leave others at a fearful distance. The
entree to this delightful habitation is by a Lodge of clever design,
and a circuitous route through the pleasure-grounds and planta-
tions, encountering the novel scene of
SEVERAL RURAL BRIDGES,

across the fresh meandering stream, which pursues its irregular
course, and materially aids this magnificent spectacle. The back
front, which extends to 160 feet, is supported by

NOBLE CORINTHIAN COLUMNS.
THE GRAND SUITE OF CHAMBERS

are in communication with the spacious paved Gallery. The effect
which is here produced is really quite electrical; nothing in nature
or art can surpass it.
THE BARONESS DE FEUCHERES

has given manifest proof of extraordinary taste in the arrangement
throughout. On an emergency twenty-five beds have been mack. up.
The hand of an artiste of superior pretensions is visible every-
where; indeed, everything resolves itself into the unequivocal term
of perfection. There is a little demesne of
THIRTY. SEVEN ACRES OF PARK-LIKE GROUND,
disposed in unequivocal taste, with flowering shrubs and expen.
sive plants to diversify the picture, and additional land may be
had if the possessor should require it. The kitchen-garden, with
lofty walls, is fully commensurate for all the legitimate wants of a
family. The Court-yard incloses an infinity of offices of the best
description; detached Laundry, &c. The situation is quite
beautiful. If HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
had been advised to see it, little doubt will be entertained that it
would have
" TRIUMPHANTLY CARRIED THE PALM."
It is close to Christchurch, where the bathing is not surpassable.
Lots of bunting and shooting close at hand, and but three hours'
drive from Southampton, and six hours only from London. The
climate is very mild, longevity prevails everywhere, and an East
Indian, Ia moderate health, will add at least a twenty-one years
term to his life. The Mansion is appropriately furnished throughout,
and may be taken at a fair valuation.
Particulars 28 days prior to the sale, at Mr. Galpine's Library,
Lymington, with a drawing and plan to accompany the printed par-
ticulars, at Gd. each ; also at the Dolphin and Royal Hotel, South-
ampton ; the best Inns at Christchurch, Lymington, and Lynd.
