R GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the
Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at
the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 21st of July, at
Twelve o'Clock, in one Lot,
A SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD EiTAFE,
equally digit; e as an Investment for Capital, or for an Abode.
It consists of the

GRAZELEY LODGE ESTATE,
most delightfully situate within three miles of Reading, on the
road to Newbury and Basings,oke, and secluded front it by a row
of Ornamental Laurels, a Hawthorn hedge, and neat Chain
Railing. It is accounted one of the prettiest things in Reading's
vicinity, which, it is known, is famed for the wealth and respect-

THIS ELEGANT AND VERY CHASTE VILLA

A TWO HOURS' RIDE FROM LONDON,
is placed on a Lawn of extraordinary beauty, and considerable ex-
tent, and the front, which overlooks the road, is a•torncd by
A STONE GALLERY AND BALCONY,
so beautifully constructed as to be the great feature on the road.
The columns are of iron, and the order is Corinthian. It is ap.
preached by a noble flight of stops. The Lawn is resplendent in
every thing that is recherche in the Botanical world, with full grown
timber in Limes, and Chcsnuts stuctdtd about in pleasing negli.
gence, with Plants end Flowering Shrubs without any apparent
termination. But it will lie well first to return to the habitation.
IT IS QUITE AN ITALIAN VILLA,
and in the best taste imaginable, with the additional advantage that
substantiality in the ere,tion is conspicuous every where. The
walls seem to claim relationship with perpetuity, and as it re.
gards convenience and inlet oat comfort, it cannot be exceeded.
All the Rooms are lofty, and consequently very airy, of excellent
proportions, and the Bed-room Department not to be exceeded.
THE GRAND SUITE OF ROOMS
are adar ed to a first-rate family; or, by the way, at this interesting
moment of doubt, while the Elective Franchise' of Reading is in
abeyance, if a gentleman of fortune and characterbe tempted into
this enviable purchase, there is no good reason why he may not
count upon adding M.F. to his present honours. The cellars are
famous, and it only nerds to let hospitality be placed conspicuously
at Gravely to accomplish this great event. Sociality and respec-
tability preside in this vicinity. But to return to this little his,.
tory. The residence, it has been observed, is quite perfect ; the
subordinate offices are in excellent keeping, and a kitchen fit for
the chef of the representative of Reading. In the court-yard are
two stables with eight stalls, two coach-houses for six carriages,
depository over for bay and straw, and coachman's room.

THE FARM YARD,
on a petite scale, is everything that can be wished for; all the
buildings arc famous; and close by are two additional slips of garden
for potatoes and vegetables, the way it has been omitted to
state there is

A CAPITAL KITCHEN GARDEN,
plentifully stocked, enclosed by lofty walls, and a prolific orchard
h: re by, that gives promise of 100 bushels of apples and pears this
season.

THE LODGE ENTREE
is of pretty design, and the drive to this little abode of comfort is
through the luxuriant grounds.

SiIENFIELD CHURCH
(a pretty object) is only a Mile and a half off; with three pews for
the family.
AND THE RIGHTS ARE UNRESTRICTED OVER THE
COMMONS IN SHENFIELD PARISH.
Connected with this valuable Purchase, there is yet in store
another feature,
A DOMAIN OF SIXTY ACRES OF RICH PARKLIKE
LAND, WITH SOME FAMOUS ARABLE;
the latter growing at this moment fi quarters of Wheat per acre,
and the soil is congenial for all the purposes of Agriculture. In
fine, it would be difficult considering its limited extent) to find
a more enviable purchase throughout the favoured county of
Berks.

Particulars ready '2S days before the Auction, at the Bear
Hotel, Reading; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. Robins' Offices,
London.
