IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART OF DEVONSHIRE.
BARCOMBE HOUSE, a delightful abode, three miles distant
from Torquay, seated in Park Grounds of 15 Acres, and in the
midst of the most delightful Scenery in England.
_MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by instruc-
tions from the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COM-
PETITION, at the Auction Mart, on Tuvasukv. June 30, at
Twelve, BARCOMBE HOUSE, in the most esteemed part of
Devonshire, within three miles of the

FASHIONABLE TOWN OF TORQUAY,
which is accounted the most reherche amid the clustre of Devon's
attractive watering places.
THIS BEAUTIFUL ABODE

has just been completed at an enormous expense ; it is modelled
IN THE ITALIAN ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE,
is very consequential in its outward form, and combines within
every possible accommodation that a family of distinction can re.
quire ; In fact, it appears to approach as nearly as possible to
perfection,

AN EAST INDIAN NABOB,
who has damaged his constitution a little in the pursuit of wealth,
will find this a real god send, the climate is so mild, so congenial,
that it infuses new powers, both of mind and body ; it gives fresh
vigour, and the East Indian invalid, who has returned in doubt as
to how long he may enjoy his fortune, may, by possessing Bar-
combo House, count upon a prolonged lease for many years, and
a constitution entirely restored ; in tact, it is now accounted in-
finitely more encouraging than the south of France; of the situa-
tint, it is really impossible to do it, justice by a short recapitula-
tion, because amid a
SCENE SO PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL,

many of its charms will be overlook ed, and thercfcire it is that Mr.
Robins prefers to solicit those who would repose in this beautiful
spot to go and seek occular demonstration. The villa stands upon
an elevated terrace, is defended from the southwesterly gales by a
highly beautiful and bold rock, which excludes also the north and
wintry winds ; the sea is only half a mile off, and the views which
are presented in such endless variety extend to the bold and pre-
cipitous cliff of Bury .head, including Torbay in the opppsite di.
rection. The landscape is varied by the rich beautifully
wooded, with the parish church of Paington standing prominent in
the picture:then Torquay (which has left all its little compliers far
off) is Seth, with its

The sea road from Dawlish to Brixham, unrivalled for its beauty
throughout England, is in communication with this property; in
fine, it may be fearlessly asserted, that it is one of the prettiest and
most classical habitations that can be conceived.

and without, and a drawing, which is lithographed, displaying the
beauty of its architectural form, to be had (at 6d. each) one month

THURSDAY, June 16th,

AN ELEGANT VILLA IN THE SWISS STYLE,
delightfully situated at the entrance to the village of Farnham
Royal, and commanding a magnificent view of Windsor Castle,
and the adjacent country. The Villa has been recently built in
the most complete manner, and wholly regardless of expense. The
balconies and verandah, and all the ornamental parts, are in singu-
lar good taste, and chiefly of carved elk. The principal windows
are decorated with paintings of elegant design ; and the furnishings
througl out will, on examination, be found to exhibit the order
and symmetry of an elaborate taste, yet strength and durability are
every where conspicuous; and the mixture of solidity and ele-
gance is a prominent feature in this Villa, when compared with most
others of recent erection. It is
A SINGULARLY ELEGANT LITTLE BIJOU,

on• of a character to suit a moderate.sized family; though, from
its extreme order and compactness, it is, perhaps, more distinctly,

UNE MAISON DE BACHELIER.

The lawn and flower garden are on a gentle slope, most tastefully
laid out, and planted with the choicest flowering shrubs. The
kitchen garden, in the rear, is very produc:ivc. The oi cllard is
well stocked with fruit trees.

Mr. Robins feels an irresistible impulse, to call the attention of
the elite in good taste to this delightful toy. It is two miles from
Windsor, and two from the Great Western Station.
Particulars may be had, twenty-one days prior to the sale, at Bo-
tham's, Salthill; the notelslWindsor ; of Messrs. Farrar and Lake,
Doctors' Commons; the Auction Mart ; and Corer-.garden.

polls, and yet most perfectly isolated.

THIS PERFECT SUBURBAN VILLA, • •
adorned by a splendid Conservatory, is happily within two and Is
half mites of the Regent's-park, so that it necessarily becomes
suited to a gentleman who has no, predilection to encounter the
expense of two establishments. It may indeed put in indubitable
claims to be designated
THE VERITABLE RUS IN URBE.
To create a place altogether so beautiful, it will be inferred, as a
matter of course, that the purse-strings have been called into
active requisition ; it is material, however, to add

entirely shut out by the Plantations) is Coach-house, stabling for

LITTLE SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT
(and Mr. Robins uses this phrase advisedly) there is a quietude and
repose, that would almost puzzle Devonshire's famed beauties to
find a parallel case. By way of cenclusion, it will not be amiss to
state, and especially to those who may be desirous to repair a debili.
tated constitution, that the air is most efficacious, and the Rill.
grown timber that adorns the grounds entirely dissipate the fear
arising from the wintry winds, since they are entirely secluded, and
the little army of American plants present a lively picture of green
freshness throughout the otherwise dismal months of winter. The
Estate is Freehold and Copyhold, and immediate possession may be
cbtained.
