that are so lovely as to be one of the features of this vicinity, and
in the Lodge Entree, is discovered a taste that may be useful as a
STUDY to some of our modern architects ; the residence, which
presents a pleasing object to the passing traveller, has numbered
some forty years, and therefore does not altogether aspire to be
accounted of the modern school, nor is it proposed sufficiently com-
modious for a vet y large family—it claims only to be congenial to the
wants and wlshys of a retiring merchant, or a family of quiet man-
ners, who may repose here in a situation of great beauty with
multiplied advantages, and every comfort they can desire; the
offices are all suitable,

close at hand : and with this lot about

will be allotted. But the more important feature connected with
this purchase. is yet to be told. The Eastern Countigs Railway
passes through the Estate, and the turnpike-road forms its
boundary. These important points have given an impetus—a sort
of enterprising spirit I hat Brentwood in days of yore never dreamt
of. The land to be divided into lots abuts on the high road, and
is in CLOSE communication with

THE BRENTWOOD STATION,
from which it extends for more than half a mile, and affords an
opportunity not to be resisted to divide this land in suitable lots
so as to form

A LITTLE OPPOSITION TOWN TO ITS ANCIENT
CONTEMPORARY,

and to which it will, in a few years, extend ; a portion will be
divided for Villas, giving to each a little land. The situation
of the property will resider this a matter of certainty rather than
speculation ; the country around is so beautiful, that it puts on the
character of a redeeming virtue to save Essex from its unfavourable
report for non-enjoyment of the picturesque or beautiful; for miles
around this spot the scene may almost challenge Devonshire for a
comparison. There is, with many others, a view of Weald Church,
that appears quite interminable; it is never absent, and materially
aids the landscape, which extends over the beauteous valley to St.
Paul's. Throughout the Estate the lands are of a picturesque amt
undulating character; in fact, it will be difficult to find an invest-
ment where a favourable result for a building operation is more
manifest ; and it will not for a moment be doubted that the lands,
judiciously divided, within half a mile of Brentwood and forty
minutes' ride of the Bank, will turn out a most beneficial specula.
tion. Thirty-five acres contain Gravel of a superior description,
which is in constant request, since there is none of a quality to
contend with it, and the land generally abounds in brick earth.
The town of Brentwood contains a very richly-endowed Free
Grammar School, the possessor of this estate and of the different
lots, may partake of this great advantage in an eminent degree.
