Northenwood

AUG. 26. - Northenwood, J. Pulteney, Esq. - This seat, formerly known as Mount Royal, is situated on a fine eminence close to the village of Lyndhurst. The house is placed in a commanding situation, backed by wood, with the village and church in front. There is a conservatory adjoining it, a level terrace walk, and a fine sloping lawn. Some comfortable cottages are erecting near the entrance, but the chimney tops want that boldness and freedom which is so satisfactory to the architectural eye. There is a handsome entrance lodge, and an approach on an elevated level which leads to the back front of the house; so that the principal views are, as ought always to be the case, not seen till we enter the principal room.
