Worked it out using a previous thread, doing it using an affine transform on the window.

Excellent!
 
I would however like to know if the rasterio.transform.xy method can be used when passing col, row from a dataset window, as I would like to get the coordinate for the center of the cell rather than the ul which results from the affine window transform.

Yes. The important detail is that the transform matrix passed to xy() must apply to the window. You can't use the matrix from the dataset's .transform attribute unless your window has its origin at the upper left corner of the dataset. Dataset objects have a window_transform() method that can help compute the new transforms: https://rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/rasterio.io.html?highlight=window_transform#rasterio.io.DatasetReader.window_transform.
