within the county.

THE CASTLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY MR LUGAR,
an artist possessing a perfect knowledge of

GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE.
It is adorned by castellated towers, full of accommodation, and
quite competent to everything a respectable family can desire. The
lodge entrance is vis-a-vis the park entree, and they both display
great taste. The castle is quite embosomed by the full-grown plan-
tations and park walks extending to the river, which, for more than
a mile, is a boundary to the estate ; and
THE EXCLUSIVE FISHING IN THIS RIVER
to a great extent is among the many agremens appertaining to this
desirable investment. There are
TWO CAPITAL DAIRY FARMS
connected with it, close by, within a ring fence, and around the
castle are eighty acres of land so rich that the best bullocks are con.
stantly made fat upon it.
THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO

THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES
of very choice land, and there is the capability to add largely to it,
if it be required. Leamington, Warwick, and Leicester, are all
within nineteen miles; Coventry is eight miles, and London less
than a five hours' journey.
