					Descriptive Particulars
					  ------------------

The Demesne of Hollybrooke is situate One Mile from Skibbereen, on the Coach Road to Bantry,
Glengariff and Dunmanway.  The Land consists of Arable and Pasture - portions are rich, fertile
and Very productive for Green Crops.  The Mansion House is  large and commodious, affording every
accommodation for a Gentleman's family.

There is a Green-house, Vinery and a well-stocked garden walled in all around. The Farm Offices
are only a few years built.  A large sum of money has been expended to make them eligible for
Agricultural pursuits.  The annexed Plan of the Mansion, House and Offices will more readily show
the extent of the entire and the suitable accommodation they contain.

The Demesne is tastefully Planted and the thinning alone of the Plantations yearly and also the
sale of the valuable Turf Bog on the Lands afford a considerable income.

The valuation put down for this Estate is moderate, and according to its present state, and
is capable of being still more increased.

This Estate is situate in a Sporting Country where there is good Salmon Fishing and in a
respectable neighbourhood and is well worth the attention of Purchasers.
