Riverview, Windrush

The property

Riverview is a ground floor apartment at Windrush Heights, a modern development surrounded by open farmland four miles from Burford. It extends to 922 sq ft, is presented and furnished to holiday-let standard, and comes to the market with two full years of trading history.

The main living space runs to almost 40ft across two connected rooms. The kitchen and dining room is fitted with dark shaker-style units under pale worktops, with an eye-level oven, induction hob, dishwasher and an undermounted sink. There is room for a four-seat dining table beside French doors that open onto the patio. A wide opening leads through to the sitting room, a full 19ft in length, with a window looking out across the fields. Wood-effect flooring, recessed lighting and oak-style doors run throughout, and there is underfloor heating.

The principal bedroom takes a king-size bed and has its own French doors to the patio. Its en suite has a bath with shower over, a wall-hung basin and WC, and a heated towel rail. The second bedroom is also a double and overlooks the gardens. It is served by a shower room with a large walk-in shower. The hall has two built-in storage cupboards.

Outside

The paved patio faces south-east and is reached from both the dining area and the principal bedroom. It opens directly onto the communal gardens, which border open fields and include a seating area with a fire pit. There is allocated parking for two cars.

The investment

Let through Stay Cotswold, the apartment produced booking income of £40,834 in the year to March 2025 and £43,602 in the year to March 2026, an increase of 7%. The two-year average of £42,218 represents a gross yield of 10.7% at the asking price. Bookings run at around 80 a year and are spread across all twelve months, with dog-friendly status and a base of repeat guests supporting demand outside the peak season. Full statements are available to interested buyers.

The apartment would equally suit a buyer looking for a lock-up-and-leave Cotswold base that pays its way when they are not using it.

Location

Windrush Heights is a short drive from Little Barrington and The Fox Inn on the River Windrush, with walking and cycling routes from the door. Burford's high street of independent shops, cafes and restaurants is four miles away, and the A40 gives easy access to Witney, Oxford and Cheltenham. Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, the Cotswold Wildlife Park and The Farmer's Dog are all within easy reach.

Income figures are taken from the managing agent's statements for 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026 and are gross, before management fees and running costs. Past income is not a guarantee of future performance.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or have an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £75 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable.  We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
