THIS ELEGANT SEAT

has long obtained a high place in public estimation ; it is seen
nestling on a lawn of exceedingly great lwauty, adorned by a great
array of Mn erican plants and flowering Shrubs, with an infinity
of stately elms 120 feet in height, which form a panorama around
THIS LIT LL ELYSIUM.

There is in the centre a very- prolific kitchen garden, but entirely
excluded from view by a little management and dexterity. The
views are many and varied—Caen Wood is in direct communica.
tion—Harrow Spire and Windsor Castle in the distance. The
Heath and its refreshing atmosphere close at hand, and although
it can at all times partake of the bustle of the passing scene, the
skill and mind of the noble possessor has given to it
a privacy that could not be exceeded one hundred miles
removed from this delightful spot—in one short sentence, it may
be proclaimed as unsurpassable ; and yet all these charms are con.
spicuous at a distance of only four miles from town. In respect of
the Villa abode something may be done in the way of decoration
that will greatly improve it; bygone taste and the present are a
little opposed to each other—a clever artiste in ornamental repair
may employ 200/. or 300/. with much advantage, but throughout
it possesses all the accommodation a family of pretension will aspire
to; it would puzzle one aftl.cted with the contagion of being fasti-
dious overmuch to point out a comfort that is not conspicuous.
In the court-yard is every essential for a large establishment—
stabling for six or seven horses, double coach-house, dairy,
piggery; in short, everything that the mind's eye can desire, is
at hand. The neighbourhood is greatly favoured by the good
feeling that exists everywhere. It has always been remarked
there is less of turmoil to be encountered amongst the select
society of the Heath, than any o'her place can boast. There is
TEN ACRES OF RICH PASTURE
a little removed, where five or six cows are depastured, and suffi-
cient hay grown for the stable department. This is leasehold
tenure, at a reasonable rent.

The admired FREEHOLD PROPERTY of the late
COLONEL SPICER, deceased.

It comprehends what has always been called " the Mansion," but
it really does not pretend to such a mark of distinction. It is

SPLENDID SCENE THAT OPENS IN THE REAR
is so perfectly beautiful that an oLtlay of 2001. or 3001. will be
encountered without a murmur. The residence is in the centre of
the town, shut out from the public gaze by a full-grown plantation,
&c. It is full of comfort, and a gentleman whose income extends
to 1,0001. or 2,0001. a year will have no serious difficulty to en-
counter in distributing it at Leatherhead. The gardens and
grounds are disposed in unusually good taste; there is an undula.

THE ROCK WORK, GROTTOS, AND SUMMER HOUSE
tend to vary and enliven the scene, and the lawn is resplendent in
shrubs and flowering plants, ornamented by a conservatory of some
extent; indeed,

MULTUM IN PARVO
should be the motto appended to this little freehold. The stabling
and coach.houses in a large court-yard are abundant; indeed,
there appears no lack of anything conducive to comfort. Imme-
diately in front of the abode is
A RICH MEADOW OF THREE ACRES,

which approaches
THE VENERABLE CHURCH AT LEATHERHEAD,
and affords a capital frontage to erect three or four villas with great
advantage. By the way, there are pews in the Church for the
family and servants.
