a very important Freehold Property.
THE ALTON HALL ESTATE AND DEMESNE,

THE PORT OF HARWICH
by the ornamental river Stour. By the way, it is welt to notice an
on dit very prevalent in Suffolk
TIIAT ONE OF THE SEATS
FOR THIS TOWN

is in reserve for the next Proprietor of Alton Hall.
In describing this estate, it is not easy to know where to begin ;
it is so fruitful in its advantages that a little judgment is required
to make them all manifest in such a confined space. First and
foremost requiring our consideration, is "the gentlemanly abode ;"
it is of a character to render it suitable to a gentleman who would
prefer comfort to outward splendour ; but it is not without the
capability to put on another character, and to soar very high, with-
out encountering a serious outlay; and the situation is so beauteous
that no one would hesitate in its adoption. It is on an elevated
position, approached by an
AVENUE OF VENERABLE OAKS;

the grounds are delightfully irregular, with hill and dale and
dells and precipices, without termination, varied by the meander_
ing of a streamlet, and the waters may be rendered quite orna-
mental at a trifling cost ; wiih
THE WOODLAND SCENERY WHICH IS QUITE
BEAUTIFUL

in every direction—a little army of thorns, contrasted with an
infinity of evergreen oaks, are seen contending for the ascendancy.
The plantations which screen the abode are very extensive and
luxuriant beyond measure. The gardens are fully competent to be
independent of the expense of Covent-garden market, with
THE CONSERVATORY, HOT-HOUSE,
cucumber and melon bells ; and a pretty Dutch garden must not
be overlooked in this concise but imperfect detail. Next in sue.
cession it will be essential to point out the nature and extent of
this eligible investment. First, there is a very comfortable

WATER CORN-MILL
entirely shut out of view, with a cozy habitation, and 20 acres of
capital land, with the jolly Miller, Ranson, a very superior tenant,
who contributes his low rent (1101. a_year) to " the ways and
means." The supply of water is never exhausted.

THE ENTIRE DOMAIN EXCEEDS
ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY ACRES OF

superior Land, and it will be confirmed that it is In thriving condi.
lion when the reader is teld that Mr. Deanes and his worthy fa-
mily have located upon it over a period extending to nearly a cen.
tury. Around the house, and to form the first lot, is 520 ACRES,
entirely within a ring fence, adapted to wheat and barley, with
Venty of good turnip land, and a superior residence for a bailiff,
and all the concomitants in the shape of farm buildings, extending
nearly to the
