The field belonging to Mr. Nesfield embraces the frontage of both houses; and the land attached to both, being 8.25 acres, is sub divided as shown in fig. 10. In this figure, a b show the land occupied by Mr. Nesfield, and containing in all 4.25 acres, a being that part which comprises the house, kitchen-gar den, &c., and b being the grass field; c is the house and garden of the adjoining occupier; and d his grass field, to which he has access by the road e; f is the public road, and g g are the entrance-gates to the two houses. This arrangement (on purchasing the land) was made in order that each house might enjoy the effect of space as much as possible, and, by dividing the ground with the wire fence (h), which is scarcely visible from either house, the breadth of effect is not cut up, as it would have been, had the division been made longitudinally. The boundary hedge (i) winds considerably, and there are several very fine trees in it, which, in consequence of the winding, group most admirably, as shown in the view, fig. 11. The wood at k, in fig. 10., belongs to the Earl of Mansfield's grounds, at Kenwood, and, together with the spire of Highgate church, adds greatly to the beauty of the landscape, as shown in the view above referred to (fig. 12.).
