July, at Twelve,

An exceedingly desirable FREEHOLD ESTATE; it com-
prises, first,

STODHANI HOUSE, ADORNED BY A CONSERVATORY,
A MOST DELIGHTFUL VILLA RESIDENCE;
it is a very imposing elevation of recent creation, based upon
THE CORINTHIAN ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE,
and erected with the intention to afford every possible comfort a
family can reasonably desire, not omitting hot and cold baths ; a
teal country gentleman (and the oboe rvatic n is used in the literal
sense) will locaCe here without a single fault being discoverable
It was built by the late C. J. HECTOR, Esq.,

for a retreat after the turmoil of his daily mercantile pursuits at
Peterstield, from which it is only distant two miles, eighteen from
Portsmouth,and three and a half hours only from the metropolis. It
is seated on

A LAWN OF CONSIDERABLE ATTRACTION,
in which there is a taste in its disposition, and in the pleasure
grounds, that especially belonging to Btodham ; there is a character
abut t them at variance with modern tactics, and leave the supe-
riority unquestionable. Repton, would, indeed be proud to acknow-
ledge them as his offspring; there is such decided originality, and so
much of correct judgment mixed up with great taste, that it will not
dread a rival entering the controversial list. They are of consi-
gerabie extent and loveliness i around them are very prolific
shrubberies and plantations, thickly clothed in all that art and na-
ture can bring to its aid ; hot and succession houses, and a melon
ground. Progressing in this delightful walk,
THE BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN GARDEN
appears in all its glory, clothed with a little army of rhododendrons
(now in full bloom), with an infinity of everything recherche in
the botanical world—it is, in fact, in miniature.
THE HORTICULTURAL GARDEN OF HANTS.
The grounds extend half-a-mile in circumferenee, adorned by beds
of flowers throughout.
A LOVELY STREAMLET
progresses through the centre, and amid the forest of trees is heard
the meandering over the rugged surface, with a cascade to increase
the effect, until all is lost in silent [tintless. Zimmerman in this
spot would have dwelt in never.ending delight. Prolific woods are
everywhere seen in great luxuriance, forming a belt, and vis-a-vis is
THE AMPHITHEATRE OF HILLS,
Which adorn, the opposite side, designated
THE FAMED ASHFORD WOODS,

whose beauty and renown have extended far and wide. They have
been contending for the rivalry. The kitchen garden, encompassed
by a-Na11,44 feet high, is prolific in everything essential to a fa.
mily. It has been remsrked, that within the domicile is associated
everything that can conduce to comfort, and the offices within and
without, including six.stall stable and double coach house, are alto.
gether in strict accordance, and necessarily very perfect.

THE ESTATE EXTENDS ALTOGETHER TO
THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ACRES

of very excellent land, the whole of whichiscOnvertible, including
some cvital meadows and arable land, with tire quarters of wheat
and six quarters of barley now demonstrating the quality of the soil.
THE FLEXCOMB FARM ADJOINING

(this will form a separate lot); there are two farm.houses well
placed, and suitable buildings; the whole may
be estimated mode.

SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS A YEAR.
To conclude, it may not be amiss to notice thattii 3 r i c sessor of this
property, if he adopt the motto of hos;iitality and good fellowship,
may count upon

TM CERTAIN REPRESEN ATION OF PETERSFIELD,
when: its influential powers are o longer a matter of doubt; they
have already been tried and not found wanting. A great deal more
may be urged to enlist attention.
THERE IS MULTUM IN PARVO
conspicuously displayed—luxuriant woods and pellucid streams,
hill and dale in never-tiring variety, with fishing, shooting, and
hunting, without end; indeed it would puzzle a man of ingenuity to
discern anything important or conducive to health and comfort
that does not appear intelligibly at the seat of the late worthy pos.
sensor. The property is all freehold, the title unexceptionable, and
possession may be had immediately.

Particulars, with two drawings of the villa and a plan of the es-

Robins's Offices, Covent-garden,
P.S. Mr. Ay;ing, on the spot, will be so good as to show the
Estate.
