R. W. W. SIMPSON has been instructed
to SELL BY' AUCTION at the Mart, London, on
THURSDAY, June 23, at Twelve, the following valuable PRO-
PERTY :
Lot 1. The MANOR FARM, situated in the parish". of
Chidham, three miles from Emsworth, five from Chichester
and Havant, twelve from Portsmouth, and fourteen only from
the Fareham Railway station. The Residence, the site of
which is dry and healthy, is of a gentlemanly character, in
excellent repair, and contains entrance hall, spacious
dining, drawing, and morning rooms, domestic offices,
with numerous bed-rooms of considerable dimensions,
It is approached by a carriage-drive and lawn, pleasantly varied
with evergreens and flowering shrubs. The gardens, the walls
of which are clothed with choice fruit-trees, are very produc-
tive. This division of the Estate includes about 400 Acres of
arable, upland pasture, and marsh, with about 17 Acres of wood
land. The agricultural buildings are on a scale duly propor-
tioned to the extent of the Estate ; the sufaee soil is composed
of a friable vegetable loam, several feet in depth, and rests on a
marl substratum ; it is therefore sound and powerful in the ex-
treme, and adapted to the growth of every description of white
straw and green craps ; turnips are fed off by folding ; the lands
are so genial and fertile as to resist the generally hurtful effects of
wet or dry seasons—thus the plants of wheat, beans, and peas of
the late wet and generally defective season, are full and vigo-
rous. The marshes and other green lands have never engen-
dered the rot in sheep, or other diseases incident to cattle on
unsound surfaces. This part of the estate is bounded by a
creek, which empties itself into the Chichester Harbour. Ma-
nure and produce are shipped from the banks and hardway
without the expense of wharfing, and the waters of this chan-
nel deposit a large supply of sea-weed, exceedingly fertilising
as manure, and which is at present disposed of on advantageous
terms for the dressing of those lands which require it.
Lot 2. The great tithes extending over the Manor Farm,
held on Leaie froni the Dean and Chapter of Chichester, for
three lives, aged respectively 12, 54, and 72 years.
Lot 3. A desirable and compact Freehold Estate, situated in
the parish of Chidham, and within two mile; of Lot 1, consisting
of ninety acres of arable and pasture, and about five acres of plan-
tation land of nearly a similar description to the Manor Farm.
There is a large double cottage (which by a moderate outlay
might be converted into a farm-house), and there are also con-
venient agricultural buildings.
Lot 4. The great tithes on the last mentioned farm, held the
same as Lot 2.
The parochial rates on the entire property are very mode-
rate, amounting to 321. per annum only. Each Farm is within
a ring fence. and distinguished fur its neatly clipped quick-
fences and high cultivation, and occupied by Messrs George
and Edward Wyatt. There is excellent Shooting on the
Estate, and the country is regularly hunted by Colonel Wynd-
ham's and other fox-hounds. There is a powerful Water Corn
Null within l mile of the Estate, and 16 others within a
range of 5 miles. These contribute, with good roads, to con-
` ;tit ute Chichester one of the best markets in the kingdom.
The above description is the result of a careful survey .of
rtMr. Simpson, and he fearlessly courts the in-
vestigation bypractical agriculturists as the test of the accuracy
of his statements. He avoids that fiction and puffing in ad-
vertisements, which would seem to imply that all persons are
fools who desire to invest theircapital in landed or other estates.
Particulars, with plans annexed, may be obtained on
application to George'Wyait,
