Hunscot Set in One of the County’S Most Coveted Villages Hunscot Set in one of the County’s most coveted villages... ...within a short distance of historic Abingdon-on-Thames A beautiful riverside setting A hidden secret... Hunscot nestles in its private grounds on the banks of the River Thames and began life as a Victorian cottage, but in its contemporary history the property has been intelligently extended to create a very functional family home in the rarest of settings. The ground floor of the building flows well with three good reception rooms including the East facing conservatory, which opens on to a private terrace and overlooks the property’s extensive gardens. Function and atmosphere... The property has at its heart a fully integrated kitchen, which links to the conservatory to create a highly useable “social” family space. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms, featuring a Master Bedroom suite with contemporary styled en-suite facilities and a further principal bathroom serving the remaining sleeping quarters. There are views from the bedrooms over the property’s grounds and also a tributary of The Thames to the West. A magical setting... Hunscot is one of those rarities that not only has extensive grounds of just over 2 acres, but the property also has riparian rights over nearly 100 metres of River Thames frontage. In recent years a substantial landing stage has been built by the owners on the property’s river bank to facilitate boat mooring and to allow for greater use of the river as an amenity. Also set within the grounds is a recently constructed detached double garage block with an independent home office to the rear and a fully fitted out Studio Flat above that can generate valuable revenue.

I have moved it here. THE THAMES ABOVE OXFORD. BY THE EDITOR. OXFORD TO CRICKLADE NB: going upstream Oxford LEAVING Folly Bridge, winding along the river past the Oxford Gas-works, and passing under the line of the G.W.R., we soon come to Osney Lock (falls ft. 6 in.), close by which was the once-famous Abbey. There is nothing left to attest its former magnificence and arrest our progress, so we soon come to Botley Bridge, over which passes the western road fro Oxford to Cheltenham , Bath , &c.; and a little higher are four streams, the bathing-place of "Tumbling bay" being on the westward one. Keeping straight on, Medley Weir is reached (falls 2 ft.), and then a long stretch of shallow water succeeds, Godstow Lock until we reach Godstow Lock. Godstow Lock (falls 3 ft. 6 in., pay at Medley Weir) has been rebuilt, and the cut above deepened, the weeds and mud banks cleared out, so as to leave th river good and navigable up to King's Weir.
