Outside, the property enjoys a particularly generous enclosed garden extending to the side and rear, which is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature hedging and trees. The garden provides a wonderful blank canvas for keen gardeners.

Adding further interest, The Hidden Cottage was once owned by Peter Benenson, founder of the internationally renowned human rights organisation Amnesty International, giving this unique home a fascinating historical connection.

Combining period charm, versatile accommodation, generous gardens and scope for further improvement, The Hidden Cottage presents a rare opportunity to create a truly special home in one of South Oxfordshire's well connected locations.
