IN THE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE.

The COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE, 1,170 ACRES, all
FREEHOLD, an INVESTMENT of GREAT IMPORT-
ANCE, with the MANORIAL RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES,
and an unexceptionable TENANTRY; 100 ACRES of

WOODS and PLANTATIONS, with the entire VILLAGE

of COLLATON, Three Miles from Torquay,
ME- GEORGE ROBINS is directed to OFFER
to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart,
L0,,,10n, on Tut/USD/oi, June 2, in One Lot, at Twelve,

A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD LANDED ES-
TATE, which. It may be stated, stands alone
THROUHOUT DEVON'S FAVOURED LAND AS kN
INVESTMENT, WHEREIN DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY
ARE ENTIRELY REMOVED.

It isortunately without the alloy of a mansion and its consequent
expense. It comprehends altogether about
ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ACRES

OF MEADOW, PASTURE, ORCHARD, AND Ns7OOD-
LANDS, divided into convenient farms; a few only are on lease
for a short period, and the whole very considerably underlet. The
real value on the determination of the few leases will exceed
TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR,
THE COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE

INCLUDES THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF COLLATON.
A rich East Indian should be tempted into this purchase and splen-
did vicinity, not unfrequently assimilated
TO HEAVEN UPON EARTH,
if he would repair the mischief inflicted by getting wealth at the
expense of a debilitated constitution. Torquay, which is on the
verge of this estate, with splendid villas moat invitingly placed in
readiness for a nabob, is famed for the countless numbers of vale.
tudinarians that have been restored to health by the genial influ-
ence of its atmosphere. Dartmouth and Totnes are close at hand,
and Exeter within a drive of two hours, and
WITHIN EIGHT HOURS OF THE METROPOLIS OF
LONDON.
TIIE TENANTRY ARE ALL FIRST-RATE MEN ;
AND NOT A SOLITARY ARREAR ON THE ESTATE.
It may be noticed that amongst the infinity of claims, the scenery Is
not the least; on the acclivity, which appears 2,000 feet above the
sea, is presented
A PANORAMA QUITE PERFECT.
Torquay and Babbecombe Bay are seen at the foot of this stupen-
dous and romantic hill, while the
UNRIVALLED DART
winds its rapid and circuitous route through

WOODLAND SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY,
and presents a constant accession of fresh delight.

THE PACKET STATION
is finally fixed at Dartmouth.
THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS

will not be disregarded. The grazing portior of the land is unsur-
passable ; the cattle fed at Paynton are soon recognised at Smith-
field. The produce from the meadow land
EXCEEDS TWO TONS PER ACRE,
while the corn lands produce from four to five quarters of wheat
and barley. It has beside 10 acres of new orchard, and 16 of woods
and plantations, and
THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF COLLATON.

Thus terminates a very imperfect representation of the most de-
sirable investment of the county.
Particulars, with descriptive plans, to be had at the New London
Hotel, Exeter; Royal Hotel, Plymouth; Golden Lion, Ashburton;
the best hotels and libraries at the cluster of watering places in
Devon ; at the Seven Stars, Totnes ; of Messrs. Every and Son,
solicitors, Exeter , of Messrs. Elliott and Son, Paingtor. ; at the
Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.

THE REY. THOS. LUDBEY,
to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Matt,
on THURSDAY, June 2, at Twelve, in One Lot,
AN UNUSUALLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY,
embracing one of the most inviting throughout the county, con.
sidering its limited extent.

THE ORCHARD HILL ESTATE
has always been remarked for a combination of everything con-
nected with comfort ; a sort of quietude prevails throughout, for
without pretending to the art of modern tactics, it claims to be
called altogether a cozy habitation, than which a higher panegyric
does not occur to the composer of this sketch. It is only 20 miles
from London, and eight from the railway station, with a capital
road passing through it to Leamington, Buckingham, Windsor,
and Aylesbury; it is within an easy drive of Bulstrode Park,
Dropmere, Cliefden, and Tapton, all favoured objects in the imme.
diatt vicinity, while

CHALFONT PARK AND ESTATE
is not merely its immediate neighbour, but seems an absolute ap-
pendage to the property under review, since the delights insepara.
ble from a finely wooded park, and grounds undulating most beau-
tifully in every direction, are possessed in the fullest extent with-
out sustaining any of its outlay.
THE QUIET LITTLE DEMESNE
under consideration is limited to

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE ACRES,
ALL FREEHOLD, A PORTION TITHE FREE, AND NO
LAND TAX.
It is of a parkish character, prettily timbered, and the residence
seems especially adapted either to a sporting man or a retired mer-
chant. It contains the most abundant accommodation, including
altogether 10 bedchambers ; the drawing-room and parlour, with
a bow window to each, 27 feet long; library, breakfast-room com-
municating with the

CONSERVATORY AND THE DUTCH GARDEN,
lire tinting altogether a very agreeable ensemble. The offices within
and without include all that can be desired : in the courtyard will
be found every appendage to comfort in its literal sense. The kit-
chen garden exceeds an acre of prolific ground, walled round and
clothed with choice fruit tree►. The Dutch garden is disposed in
excellent taste, and the American border (as it is denominated) is
extensive and full of luxuriant plants, with

A RHODODENDRON FENCE,
the effect of which should be seen at the proper season to be under-
stood or appreciated. The buildings essential to agricultural pur-
suits are ranged around the farm-yard, which is warm and shel-
tered. There are six cottages, dispersedly placed, of which four
are vis-a-vis to the two entrees to Chalfont Park. Such is a very
moderate outline of a most enviable property in a neighbourhood
particularly prone to good fellowship. Packs of hounds are within
easy reach, and game sufficient for amusement. It can only be
viewed by a printed particular, which will have a drawing of the
house and grounds annexed, and be ready 2S days antecedent to the
sale, at the White Horse, Uxbridge; the White Hart Hotel,
Windsor ; Botham's, Salthill ; of Messrs. Cunnington and Veley,
solicitors, Braintree; the Auction Mart; and in Covent-garden.
