LOCAL & DISTRICT NEWS....PART 3 SALE OF VALUABLE ESTATES IN CUMBERLAND. - On Tuesday last, MR. J. JACKSON, auctioneer brought to the hammer the valuable properties situate in the parish of Hesket-in-the-Forest, Hutton, and Lazonby, comprising the beautiful estate called "Brackenbrough", and four farms adjoining, consisting of 896a. 2r.22p. of fertile arable, meadow, pasture, and wood land, almost within a ring fence, with excellent residences, farm buildings and cottages; and, also, a very compact and desirable estate at High Hesket, comprising newly erected dwelling house, outbuildings, and 157a. 0r. 34p. of arable, meadow, and wood land. The Breckenbrough Estate and farms were first submitted to competition, and afterwards reached £36,000 when the bidding ceased. The estate was then put up in lots, the first that was submitted being Brackenbrough farm, which the auctioneer introduced by saying that it would make the prettiest place in the north of England. After being bid up to £14,000, no sale was declared, and "Blacksykes Farm" was next submitted. This only reached £4,600, and was then withdrawn. Robinson's House Farm reached the sum of £4,000; Kitty House, 30 acres in extent, £1,300; and Low Plains, comprising upwards of 289 acres, £11,000. The aggregate of these several sums being only £34,900, or £1,100 below the sum offered for the whole, the Brackenbrough Estate was then put up in its entirety, and some spirited bidding ensued. Eventually it was knocked down to the bid of MR. DICKINSON, land agent, Workington, for MR. HARRIS, Greysouthen, Cockermouth, for £38,200. The Hesket Estate, together with two Parcels of Woodland called "Tally-Ho", was then offered, and was sold to MR. BIRNEY, of Carlisle, for £8,250. The prices realised are a trifle under the sum at which the owner, the late MR. MURRAY, purchased a few years ago.
