From renewable energy to green transport, sustainability is at the heart of life at Wolvercote Mill.
Sustainability is at the heart of life at Cala’s flagship Wolvercote Mill development in North Oxford. The development features a range of eco features from green transport options to energy efficient homes, making it an ideal choice for those looking to live a more ethical lifestyle.
The bespoke collection of 95 three and four-bedroom homes is located in the desirable OX2 postcode and is ideal for families, professionals and downsizers alike.
The growing popularity for electric vehicles is being encouraged here, with all garage fitted out with their own private car charging points. For those homes without a garage, additional car charging points have been installed across the development for use by both residents and the general public.
However, the true appeal of the Wolvercote Mill lies in the fact that owning a car isn’t a necessity when living in this prime location. With an additional bus stop due to be incorporated within the development’s new Mill Square, residents will have easy access to Oxford City Centre. In addition, Enterprise Car Club spaces will be available at the site to be used by both residents and the wider public, providing self-service vehicle rental by the hour or day.
Wolvercote Mill is equally well designed for those who choose to get out and about on two wheels. Bike stores are provided in every home and new cycle routes through the development provide a scenic route along the River Thames into Oxford City Centre in just 20 minutes.
Homes on the development feature high quality materials which offer enhanced levels of insulation to create a more energy-saving and cost-efficient home. A significant amount of electricity will be generated through solar panels installed across the site. This will not only power the communal spaces within the apartment blocks, but a good proportion of excess electricity will also be fed back into the grid.
Within the landscaping of the site, a sustainable drainage system will harvest and filter polluted storm water from nearby roads, allowing it to be released harmlessly into the neighbouring Mill Stream.
Wolvercote Mill truly offers the best of both worlds. Residents will be able to enjoy aspirational living in a contemporary home tucked away in an idyllic riverside setting, with village amenities on the doorstep and the diversions of the thriving city of Oxford close by.
