AT PARK HILL, CLAPHAM.

A desirable Freehold Villa, adapted to a Family of great
respectability, with extensive Pleasure-grounds and
Lawns, Plantation Walks and Shrubberies, adorned
with rare Plants, a splendid Orangery, Melon Ground,
and a small Paddock, with immediate possession.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to
SELL by AUCTION, on THURSDAY the 9th of
July, at Twelve, a FREEHOLD VILLA RESIDENCE, of
very superior pretensions ; it is desirably situate at Park
Hill, Clapham, possessing the rare combination of being
very retired, and the no less useful advantage of a short
and easy communication with the metropolis. The resi-
dence presents a superior structure, very much in contra-
distinction to all the modern buildings in this vicinity; it
is most substantially erected, and the interior combines
more of real comfort and good taste than any of its rival
opponents; the principal rooms (fitted up in the best
taste) are of excellent proportions, and participate in a
great degree in the pleasing and interesting views of this
delightful retreat ; the bed-chambers and secondary apart-
ments are most ample, and the domestic arrangement is so
perfect as to leave nothing to be desired ; the out-offices
are all of a corresponding order. The lawns, pleasure-
grounds, plantation and shrubbery walks, are Of character
infinitely superior to any thing within the same distance
of the metropolis, and in the space of nearly five acres of
pleasure-grounds are combined more of tact and good taste
than even the admired vicinage of Clapham can boast of ;
the multitudinous assemblage of all that is rare and estim-
able in American and flowering shrubs will be found con-
gregated here, and so clever is the disposition of the
grounds that they appear to have no termination. The
splendid orangery, fifty feet long and twenty feet wide,
urest be seen to be well appreciated ; it is not enough to
sate that it cost 1,5001., but the judgment and taste that
produced it should be seen, or a correct estimate cannot
be formed. It is of modern gothic design, and proudly
challeges a comparison with any thing of the same extent
in England. The vinery, near a hundred feet, is in full
bearing, and the property is all freehold, land •tax re•
deemed, and the purchaser may be accommodated with the
splendid furniture and effects (combining the same degree
of taste with the mansion) at a fair valuation.
It can only be seen with cards, from Twelve till Five,
and particulars had at the Auction Mart ; the Plough,
Clapham; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 23d
of July, at Twelve o'clock, in Lot.,
AMost Desirable FREEHOLD PRO-
PERTY, alike eligible for a residence of import-
ance, or equally well adapted to a building speculation, and
on a scale of first-rate consequence, with pro.pcctive 'ad-
vantages that very few would aspire to. It comprehends
GROVE MANSION AND PARK, 'WITH ONE
HUNDRED ACRES, FINELY WOODED,
embosomed in its delightful domain, extensive walled gar-
dens, encompas.ed by lofty walls, and ornamented by a
range of "gat suceesiiiiiilinfaes, 150 feet Lang; in the
French garden is a conservatory of great extent, and the
grounds are laid out in accordance with the best taste.
THE PARK

has long been proverbial for its delightful irregularity ; there
is an infinite and refreshing variety of hill and dale, in such
a limited boundary, with the paramount advantage of the
River, which is seen in so many and varied situations, that
to a man of rank, few, if any places in the vicinity of the
Metropolis, afford the same exclusive means to recreate in
retirement; and to those who would invest in perfect se-
curity this situation appears to stand alone, with a view to
a safe and permanent building operation, having the rare
advantage of being en face the Duke of Devonshire's splendid
domain at Chiswick, and the extremity terminated by the
pavilion and banqueting rooms, which approximate on the
River Thames. Many very prominent advantages may he
added; but it is believed enough has been suggested, or its
dose alliance with the Horticultural Gardens might be in-
cluded.
It can only be viewed by cards, and particulars had
twenty-one days prior to the Sale, of Mr. Kay, Surveyor,
Gower-street; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George
Robins's Offices, Covent-garden, of whom cards to view
may he had.
