SALES BY AUCTION,

THE QUIET LITTLE DEMESNE
under consideration is limited to

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE ACRES,
ALL FREEHOLD, A PORTION TITHE FREE, ANL/ 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 bed chambers ; the drawing-room and parlour, with
a bow window to each, 27 feet long; library, breakfast-room corn.
mimicating with the
CONSERVATORY AND THE DUTCH GARDEN,
presenting 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 trees. 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 28 days antecedent to the
sale, at the White Horse, Uxbridge; the White Hart Hotel,
Windsor ; Botham's, Salthill ; of Messrs. Cunnington and Veley,

Representatives of Mr. Place, deceased, to OFFER to
PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on

a mile beyond Nuneaton market town, and only eight miles from
THE COVENTRY STATION OF THE BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY, FOUR HOURS AND A HALF'S RIDE
FROM LONDON, IN THE CENTRE OF THE ATHERS.
TON HUNT,
and only three miles from the kennel ; it has been recently occu.
pied by THE EARL OF HILLSBOROUGH.
The property has long acquired a considerable fame in its own
vicinity. It is one of the most compact and eligible properties
within the county.

THE CASTLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY MR LUGAR,
an artist possessing a perfect knowledge of
GOTHIC ARCHITEC PURE.
It is adorned by castellated towers, full of accommodation, and
quite competent to everything a respectable family can desire. The
lodge en' lance 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 mi:e, 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, withi❑ a ring fence, and around the
castle are eighty acres of land so rich that the best bullocks are con.
stint ly 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, arc all
within nineteen miles; Coventry is eight miles, and London less
than a five hours' journey.

IN BUCKS.
The ORCHARD HILL ESTATE, approximating upon Chat.
font Park, a delightful Residence in the centre of a Domain of
135 Acres of Park and Agricultural Lands, with Gardens and
Pleasure-grounds, screened from the high-read by luxuriant
Plantations, and within 20 miles of London.
MIL GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by his
respectable client,
THE REV. THOS. LUDBEY,
to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mait,
on THURSDAY, Tune 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 panel:, ric
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.
diate 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 in►epara.
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.
