MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to
announce that he is directed to OFFER to PUBLIC COM.
PETITION, at the Auction Mart, on TRVRSDAY, June 30, at
Twelve,
AN UNUSUALLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD LANDED
ESTATE,
combining so many advantages, so varied, and yet all of them so
important, that it is not an easy task to condense them within the
ordinary scope of a public announcement; it shall, however be
attempted.

THE ESTATE IS ALL FREEHOLD ;
THE MANSION AND GROUNDS ARE SO CLOSE
AS TO APPROXIMATE UPON MELKSHAM,
a market town of considerable repute in the vicinity of Devizes,
Bath, and Chippenham, surrounded for miles
BY ENTAILED PROPERTIES THAT CAN HARDLY
EVER COME INTO THE MARKET,
with a railway station within four miles; thus
THE DISTANCE FROM LONDON IS EVERY DAY COM.

PLETED IN LESS THAN FOUR HOURS.
The mansion, called the Grove, is a building of the old school ;
the offices are commensurate; the house is not too large, but it
would be improved by a little good taste in decoration. It is
seated on a beautiful lawn, amid the splendid foliage of full.grown
timber and plantations.
The gardens are abundant, and it possesses
THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING
IN THE RIVER AVON.
Its contiguity to Bath and the large intermediate towns, and a
vicinity as highly famed for respectability as any in England;
and the Wilts and Serb; Canal intersects the land. It will new
become necessary to recur to a most important feature in this I
sale. It includes '

THE CELEBL4TED MELKSHAM SPA,
which is surrounded by about 100 acres of land, admirably
adapted for a building speculation on a large scale, and which in
the hands of an enterprising proprietor, might shortly become a
formidable rival to watering places of a similar character already
established. Also

SEVERAL FREEHOLD DAIRY FARMS,
that teem to stand alone for their superior quality; there is no-
thing in the vicinity that. will aspire to a comparison ; the quality
of the soil is proverbially first.rate--it is, in fact, unsurpassable.
IT IS EXEMPT FROM LAND TAX,
and the tithes are commuted at a very low rent ; it extends to
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ACRES,
hounded and occasionally refreshed by the Avon, four miles froth
THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY,
seven miles from Chippenham and Devizes, and about ten from
Bath. THE WOODLAND SCENERY
of the neighbourhood gives a very imposing feature to the pm-
pests ; it is altogether an investment free from any alloy, and not
surpassable anywhere. •

It can be viewed by particulars, which may be had at the Grove
Mansion ; also at the King's Arras, Melksham; the best Inns at
Devises and ChiPpenharn ; White Hart, Bath ; of Messrs. Bick-
nell, Roberts, Finch, and Neste, Solicitors, Lincoln's Inn fields;
Mr. Mulimer, Surveyor, Old Broad-street; at the Auction Mart;
and in Covent garden.
