Homes in Witney
Witney has a historic market town centre with Cotswold stone buildings, many listed. Victorian and Edwardian houses fill the streets around the town, and Madley Park has later estates.
The River Windrush runs through the town, and flooded badly in 2007. Prices are high by Oxfordshire standards, driven by the town's character and access to Oxford. Cogges has older stone cottages near the manor farm museum. The centre mixes historic frontages with newer infill. Witney was famous for its blanket-making industry, and some former mills have been converted into homes. Many older buildings use local stone and Stonesfield slate roofs. Witney has no railway station, so commuters drive or use buses to Oxford. The A40 brings traffic congestion. Curbridge and Ducklington have older village cores with stone cottages.
Areas we cover include Witney Town, Madley Park, Cogges, Curbridge, Ducklington, Hailey.
