The dwellinghouse, most substantially built, contains seven good lofty rooms, besides which there is a good three-roomed cottage, six stalled stable, sheep and cattle yards, piggeries and granary. The pleasure grounds are carefully planted, and very tastefully laid out; in fact, it is one of the nicest properties in the country.

It will be first offered as a whole, and if not sold, it will then be offered in two lots.
