About this property

Property Description

HILLCREST HOUSE is an impressive, detached village home of individual style and character, nicely situated in what remains a very popular, well served and highly regarded village. Formerly a bungalow, the property was re-built by the current owners some 20 years ago creating this rather special property which provides spacious and well-proportioned living accommodation over two floors.
