A spacious, convenient, and substantially built residence in Hope-street, with coach-house, stables, cow-house, and conveniences for a large family; also, extensive gardens, and building ground, in very desirable situations in Hope-street, and in streets to be opened from thence. The premises are freehold of inheritance, comprise seven statute acres of land, and contain 25,000 superficial square yards of building ground, in lots from 15 to 77 yards in depth; with gardens in full cultivation, from 15 to 47 yards deep, forming part of many of the lots, exclusive of the land in the lot containing the house, offices, and shrubbery, and of the streets, which are 16 and 12 yards wide?. Early possession may be had, and for plans, or other particulars, apply to Mr. Corrie, at Wheathill; to Mr. Thomas Corrie, in Liverpool, or to Mr. Foster, in Lawton-street. For the encouragement of builders, part of the purchase money may remain at interest for ever, on a chief rent. This advertisement not to be repeated.

Should the above be of interest to you, you are advised to view the original article, as this is not necessarily an exact 'transcript'.
