A deceptively spacious two-bedroom detached cottage set in the sought-after village of Ruyton XI Towns. The Old Post Office blends period character—exposed timbers, inglenook and wood-burning stove—with modern, refitted living spaces including a large kitchen/diner and a refitted ground-floor bathroom. The conservatory opens onto generous, enclosed rear gardens that back onto open green space, offering privacy and a peaceful outlook.
The layout suits downsizers or those wanting a compact village home with scope for light updating. The master bedroom is large and benefits from an ensuite WC; a second double bedroom and useful pantry/storage help the practical day-to-day. Off-street parking is available on a good-size driveway and there is a low-maintenance front courtyard.
Practical points to note: the house is oil-heated (private oil tank) and the Rayburn in the kitchen is currently disconnected. The property is of solid-wall, pre-1900 construction and any buyer wanting high thermal performance should factor in insulation work. Services are stated as available but have not been tested. Council Tax band is affordable (Band C).
Overall this is a characterful, well-presented cottage in an affluent, peaceful village with good local amenities and schooling nearby. It will suit buyers seeking village life with room for occasional modernisation rather than a fully renovated turnkey home.
