To be sold at private sale, the commodious house and large
gardens, in the out-ward of this city, known by the name of
Vaux-Hall; the situation extremely pleasant, having a very
extensive view both up and down the North-River: The house
has four good rooms on a floor, with a large entrance and
other conveniencies, an excellent cellar, a very good
kitchen, and a large room 26 by 56 feet adjoining the house,
with an arched ceiling, a convenient musick gallery, two
fire-places and two entrances; coach-house, stables, and
other out-houses, with as fine water as any in the city;
there are 36 lots and a half of ground laid out to great
advantage in a pleasure, and kitchen garden well stock'd
with fruit and other trees, vegetables, &c. and several
summer houses which occasionally may be removed; the whole
in extream good order and repair, well fenced in, very fit
for a large family, or to entertain the gentry, &c. at a
public garden, &c. The premises are on lease from Trinity
Church, sixty-one years of which are yet to come, and sold
for no other reason whatever than the proprietor not being
able to attend both his houses in the manner he could wish,
and as the favour he hath received from the public in
general, so highly merits. For further particulars enquire
of Mr. Francis, at his house, the Queen's Head tavern, near
the Exchange, or at Mr. Knapp's office in Broad-street, who
has to sell or let, very reasonable a convenient house on
lease [?] ground at the back of the College.
