Woodford Mill, Witney – Elegant Riverside Living in a Historic Setting

Set within the iconic Grade II-listed Woodford Mill development, this top-floor apartment offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Witney’s rich heritage. Once a thriving woollen mill on the banks of the River Windrush, the site has been beautifully restored into an exclusive collection of homes, sensitively developed by Cala Homes in partnership with English Heritage and the Environment Agency.

Located just a five-minute walk from the vibrant town centre, the spacious two bedroom apartment combines period charm with contemporary comfort. The welcoming entrance hall leads to a large storage cupboard and sets the tone for the rest of the property, which features high ceilings throughout, flooding each room with natural light.

The kitchen is fitted with modern units and includes an integrated fridge/freezer, electric oven and hob, with additional space for further appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a generous living room, enhanced by impressive vaulted ceilings and two large windows, creating a wonderfully open and airy space.

The principal bedroom is a sizeable double, complete with a built-in double wardrobe, a bespoke desk and shelving unit, and a large window with wooden shutters. This bedroom also benefits from a fully tiled en-suite shower room with tiled flooring. The second bedroom is also a generous double with built-in wardrobes and a shuttered window, making it ideal for guests or as a home office. A well-presented family bathroom features a tiled floor, half-tiled surrounds and a bath with shower over.

Additional benefits include access to communal riverside gardens, two allocated parking spaces, and loft space that offers potential for storage, though it is currently unboarded. The windows are due to be replaced—likely with high-performance R9 UPVC units—adding to the property’s energy efficiency.

This property is part of a highly regarded development that blends historical architecture with modern living. It is perfect for those looking for a characterful home within easy reach of Witney’s shops, restaurants, and amenities, while enjoying the tranquillity of a riverside setting.

About Witney

Witney is a charming market town located in Oxfordshire, England. Nestled on the River Windrush, it boasts a rich history dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period. The town is renowned for its woollen industry, particularly during the Middle Ages, and even today, remnants of its textile heritage can be seen in local landmarks like the Witney Blanket Hall.

Witney's high street is lined with a mix of independent shops, cafés, and historic buildings, giving it a quaint, yet lively atmosphere. With its proximity to Oxford and beautiful surrounding countryside, it's a popular spot for both residents and visitors.

Witney is well-connected by road, making it easily accessible from both Oxford and the surrounding areas. The town sits just off the A40, providing direct links to Oxford (about 12 miles to the east) and Cheltenham to the west. For those travelling by public transport, Witney has bus services connecting it to nearby towns and cities, though it no longer has a direct rail station; the nearest is in Oxford or Hanborough, where regular trains run to London and other major cities.

In terms of its proximity to the Cotswolds, Witney is situated at the southern edge of the region, offering quick access to the picturesque villages and rolling hills of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town itself has a quaint, rural charm, and it’s a popular base for visitors exploring the nearby Cotswold countryside 

About The Oxfordshire Property Agent 

At The Oxfordshire Property Agent we like to think we do things a little differently to a traditional estate agent.

Here are some of ways we feel we differentiate from the usual ‘high street’ and online offerings;

-        We are transparent with our pricing - it is published for everyone to see and is almost half that of the national average, fixed at only 0.75% + vat

-        Each agent only works with 5 sellers a month, focusing on a personal and professional service and adhering to the highest possible standards. A small client base allows us to afford more time to you and your sale.

-        We don’t tie you into a long contract. As part of our drive to increase trust and transparency, we only work on a 1 month rolling basis - no catch. 

-        We aim to learn as much as possible about you and your property with our pre-listing walk through. This time used to discuss the ongoing sale strategy, and also to offer advice on how to best dress your home for photos - allowing our professional photographer to take the best possible images. 

-      We use the same concept for viewings, and when it comes to showcasing your home, unlike most agents we book an hour long viewing to allow time for the buyer to fully appreciate all the unique features on offer. This ultimately increases the chances of an offer and in turn helps us achieve the best possible sale value for you.

If you are interested in one of our properties for sale, or have a property to sell, why don’t you give us a call today and see if we can help!
