Situation - The property occupies a lovely rural position, set well back from the road, slightly elevated with stunning farmland views, particularly towards Pontesford Hill in the distance.

Description - Hillcrest offers a rare opportunity to acquire a modern country residence, which has been individually designed and extended to provide a beautifully presented and particularly spacious home, which is quite deceptive from an initial glance.

Central to the house is the living room, which has a multi-fuel stove, linking through to both the conservatory and dining room. A refitted breakfast kitchen is also adjacent to the living room and offers an excellent range of appliances and comprehensive storage cabinets. All of this provides an excellent entertaining area and is further enhanced by an adjoining preparation kitchen - ideal for entertaining purposes.
