To those who prefer Substances to Shadows for the Investment of their Capital in the beautiful County of Devon: To be peremptorily sold by Public Auction, at the White Hart Inn. Morton, Hampstead. Devon (unless previously sold by private contract), on Saturday the 25th inst. at three o’clock, p.m. all that highly-cultivated FREEHOLD FARM called LOWER JURSTON, in the Parish of Chagford, Devon, containing about 86 Acres of watered and other Meadows, Pasture and Arable Land, with a most valuable un-enclosure for Sheep and Cattle, that would (in the opinion of the Advertiser), if divided under the expected general Enclosure Act, double the value of Jurston. It has a fine healthy situation, and has two beautiful trout streams running through it, and only moderate distances from Exeter, Plymouth, Ashburton, and Newton. It is capable of supporting a Dairy of from 10 to 12 Cows, without much interference with breeding and rearing of Cattle and Sheep. The Soil is well adapted for Turnip, Potato, Pulse, and Grain Crops, and has one of the most convenient Farmyards in the Kingdom, with a dwelling House and Offices suitable for a genteel, at the same time for a Farmer’s, Family, or may be made suitable for both. It has been in the occupation of the present Proprietor and has cost him in real useful Improvements some Thousands of Pounds more than he expects now to get for it. For further particulars apply to Messrs. Nind and Cotterill; Throgmorton-street, London; or to Mr. Joseph Pinsent, the Proprietor, at Jurston, Chagford, Devon: If by letter to be post-paid.
