Auction - advertised 20th July 1901 - "THE NOUDS ESTATE UNDER THE HAMMER"

Reported in the Whitstable Times and Herne Bay Herald of 20th July 1901

One of the most important sales of landed property ever held in East Kent took place on Friday afternoon at the Foresters hall, Sittingbourne, this building having been selected as there was no sale room in the town affording sufficient accommodation for an auction sale of this importance. The property offered was the well-known Nouds estate, situate in the parishes of Lynsted, Teynham, Norton, Bapchild, and Doddington, in a favoured fruit and hop district. The property was for many years owned and occupied by the late Mr. Philip Barling, who resided at Nouds. It now came under the hammer by the instructions of the trustees, and with the approbation of the Court of Chancery. The estate covers an area of 504a. 3r. 23p. of fertile land, including some of the choicest orchards in Kent, the gross income last year being about £3,165, exclusive of the woodland.

The sale was conducted by Messrs. Cobb, of 53, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, and Higham, Rochester, and the hall was well filled. Mr. Cobb opened the proceedings by briefly mentioning the chief characteristics of the Nouds estate, and then submitted the property which was cut up into suitable lots,, it being considered that it would thereby meet with a more ready sale. Following were the results:-
