The manor of Fifehead, bounded in great part by the River Stour, is situate in a pleasant and healthy part of the country, ... The lands are well fenced, wooded, and watered, the out-buildings are convenient, and farm-houses commodious, one of which stands on a delightful eminence, and may, at a small expence, be converted into a desirable residence for a genteel family; the whole forming a most eligible estate, and capable of great improvenment: William Gillett, of Fifehead, will shew the estate: and particulars may be had at the office of Mr. Messiter, Shaftesbury; Messrs. Messiter, Wincanton; or at the Ship Inn, West Stour, near Fifehead.--to treat for the same application may be made personally, or by letter (post paid,) to Mr. Pryce, of Park-Street, Bath, or Mr. Messiter, of Shaftesbury aforesaid.
