ON BOUGHTON HILL, the IMMEDIATE VICINITY of
CANTERBURY. The ELEGANT FREEHOLD VILLA
of UNUSUAL I'RETENSIONS, which ADORNS the HILL
and the GROUNDS are PARALLEL with the ROAD and
PASSING SCENE. ALTOGETHER 14 ACRES, ENCIR.
CLING the ABODE.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is much ratified in
being selected to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION,
at the Auction Mart, London, on Dummy NEXT, the CIE of
August, at Twel,:e,
FREEHOLD VILLA,
which, it may bi safely affirmed, for its size, will not yield to any-
thing contemporaneous. It is, in fact, one of
THE MOSE' DELIGHFUL BIJOUX
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE KINGDOM,
and the great difficulty that presents itself to the composer is to do
it justice without encountering the idea of having too higl.ly
coloured the landscape. However this arduous task shall be wale's
taken.
BERKLEY LODGE IS HALF WAY ON THE DECLIVITY
AT BOUGHTON HILL,
and its splendid grounds run parallel to the passing scene of thi,
interesting road. In days of yore Boughton Hill preterited a
fearful obstacle to enjoy, without alloy, all the accessorks this
lovely spot had in store. In our boyish days it was accounted
an herculean task to reach the summit, but Mr M'Adain, with his
powerful mind and "road-making 'powers, soon removed the
imaginary difficulty, and that which previously was a fearful oh.
stacle to encounter, is now a gentle and almost unperceived &neut.
Upon this hill now dwells
THE INCOMPARABLE VILLA,
the property of, and completed In his usual good taste by
Woollright, Esq., of which a moderated account is to follow
THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND
and the garden of Kent have been held as synonymous terms:
and it has long since been conceded to this spot, that throughret
Kent, it stands unrivalled. It is first seen nestling amid the
ambrosial grounds, with clumps of trees to vary the scene, stretch.
ing their wide and shadowy arms far across the green sward that
encompasses it. The natural beauty of this position it will not
be attempted to describe, because it is fearlessly asserted that it
must be seen or it eannot be appreciated; the beauties that press
on the enraptured sight, strewed by the hands of Art and Nature,
combined over this surface, will hold a place in the memory
which never can be effaced, and ere the visit is half completed, with
common assent it will be responded to by all,
THAT FAIRY LAND
is in view. Of the residence little has yet been said (although an
outlay of 6,000/. has just been expended on its completion), and it may
be well to observe that, without being encumbered with the nuisance
of too large a domicile, there is all and everything that a fatality (not
too large) can desire. It has been erected within the last scree
years, and whatever can be understood by the comprehensive term
" comfort" will be found to hold a prominent place here ; but
WITHIN THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM,
is placed a GAZEEBO of NOVEL FORM,
and so ingeniously contrived that the beauteous scenery by which
it is so entirely surrounded is seen with immensely increased effect.
It is really quite impossible to do justice to the tact that has pre-
sided over this great feature cf the abode. Its form is duodecagon.
there are five windows, each diversifying the scene.
The ingenuity that has conceived this happy effort to give ad.
ditional effect to the magnificent scene is unquestionable.
IT EXHIBITS A PANORAMIC VIEW,
THAT YIELDS TO NOTHING THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
softened by the intermixture of features the most romantic and
picturesque—
" Till breathless, as we grow when feeling mos ;
And silent, we stand in thoughts too deep
For utterance,"
it produces an ensemble such as the writer of this imperfect sket ch
has never before enjoyed. To give an adequate representation is
quite out of the question—its beauty and its loveliness altogether
forbid it, but It may be permitted to observe that
THE RIVER MEDWAY AND THE MORE,
which is in the distance, is, at high water, on visiting terms with
Berkeley Lodge.
AN ENGLISH FLEET OF 100 VESSELS
has not unfrcquently aided this splendid picture. To return for
a moment to the demcsne—the grounds are very extensive and
luxuriant beyond imagination. There is not a landscape gardener
that will not be proud to take a lesson here, and the Proprietor
has added so much of ingenuity, and of variety, that the scene
never tires—at every turn something new and beautiful is pre-
sented.
In the centre is
" AN OBSERVATORY 50 FEET IN HEIGHT."
WHICH STANDS 350 FEET HIGHER THAN
CANTERBURY.
From this spot Dover and Gravesend are both brought within view,
and the coast of France seen without difficulty.
THE TERRACE WALK, THAT
RUNS_ PARALLEL WITH THE LONDON-ROAD,
is adorned by American shrubs and flowering plants without number;
and to pekeet this scene there are rising in majestic grandeur in
the rear
