MAJESTIC RUINS OF KENILWORTH CASTLE,

three miles only from Leamington and four from Warwick. The
Mansion is newly built, and of stone, of the castellated form, seated
at the extremity of
A STATELY AVENUE OF ELMS 100 YEARS OLD,
giving a park- like character to the property, and when seen from
the road has the appearance of

AN ANCIENT CHATEAU.

the Mansion, and a carriage.drive winds through the park, which
appears of boundless extent, and gives an air of consequence to the
domain. The residence is built on arches perfectly dry; it
it alsourids with comfort, and offers ample accommodation for a
large family. Handsome porch entrance, with noble ball and
staircase, three elegant reception-rooms, four spacious best bed-
chambers, and four of smaller size, with eight bed-rooms for the
domestics. The cams are exellent, and commensurate with the
establishment. Excellent double coach.house, stabling for six
horses, all newly built ; kitchen-garden, and orchard.

shrubbery and umbrageous walk on one side, nearly half a mile in
length, leading to the private gate to Kenilworth.

of valuable land of a rich loamy soil, beautifully wooded, the
scene around presenting a park of unusual loveliness, for which
this county is so truly famed; whilst
THE WOODS AND PRESERVES OF LORD LEIGH
form the boundary, and offer great attraction in the sporting
season, with a never-failing supply of game. The Warwickshire
hounds meet in the immediate neighbourhood, and Leamington
Spa is within a short drive of three miles.
A small Farm appertains to the property, with newly-built
cottage, barn, and useful buildings on the opposite side of the road,
and completely excluded from the view of the park.

quisite for a country abode.
