Set behind a traditional flint wall with generous gravel driveway parking, this handsome red-brick cottage, formerly the village post office, immediately conveys a sense of character and understated elegance. Internally, the accommodation is wonderfully balanced, offering both impressive living space and flexibility to adapt to a variety of lifestyles, equally suited to growing families or those looking to downsize without compromise.

The reception hall provides a welcoming first impression, leading through to a superb dual-aspect sitting and dining room, a wonderfully light-filled space with excellent proportions and a relaxed atmosphere, centred around a fireplace and enjoying views to the front and the private terrace. Bifold doors open from the dining area onto the terrace, creating an excellent flow for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, while underfloor heating enhances comfort throughout the extended parts of the ground floor.

A separate sitting room offers an ideal work-from-home space, snug, playroom or occasional ground floor bedroom if required. The kitchen is full of charm, blending traditional styling with practical modern touches. Bespoke handmade solid oak cabinetry, designed by Martin Leighfield, is complemented by solid granite worktops and a generous larder cupboard, creating a beautifully crafted and highly functional space and opens naturally into a breakfast room overlooking the garden, creating a sociable and inviting hub to the home. A separate utility room, dedicated laundry cupboard/room, and ground floor shower room add further practicality and convenience.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a particularly impressive feature of the house — a substantial and beautifully bright suite with ample space for a seating area and a peaceful outlook over the surrounding greenery. The suite is further enhanced by a separate dressing room and a spacious en suite bathroom featuring twin washbasins and a shower cubicle.

The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned and are served by a family bathroom, providing excellent flexibility for guests, children, or additional hobby and workspace requirements.

Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed to remain manageable while still offering attractive outdoor space to enjoy throughout the seasons. A private rear terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the lawned garden is enclosed, private and established with mature planting. The detached garage and adjoining workshop/summer house offer excellent storage, hobby or studio potential.

Highmoor remains one of South Oxfordshire’s most desirable villages, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and woodland walks, with a strong sense of community and excellent local amenities. The renowned Rising Sun pub is just a short walk away, while the village Montessori preschool and nearby Stoke Row further enhance the appeal for families. Henley-on-Thames, Reading and Oxford are all easily accessible, making the property ideal for both day-to-day living and commuting.
