Hillcrest is a stunning country residence which has been modernised to an extremely high standard, whilst still retaining many lovely character features.

Believed to date back to 1671, Hillcrest was extended in the 1950s to create a second storey above the kitchen and then further extended in 2005, creating an impressive kitchen, dining, living room, master bedroom with ensuite, fifth bedroom/study, utility room and fantastic sunroom.

From the driveway, a gravel path leads through to a beautiful rose-covered archway and gate into the rear garden. The garden wraps around the property with a lawned area to the front and a pathway leading up to the oak-framed entrance porch with a pitched tiled roof and sandstone floor.
