10 Hillcrest, known as “Jorgene”, is a charming and traditional three-bedroom semi-detached home positioned at the head of a cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after village of Pen-y-fai. Just a short distance from local schools, shops, amenities, excellent transport links, and within walking distance of the village playing fields, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home that has been in the same family for nearly 60 years. Built in the 1950s and designed in the classic 1930s style, it retains an abundance of original features including bay-fronted windows, an arched entrance, and beautiful original wood block flooring. Positioned on a fantastic plot with breathtaking views, the home benefits from a large enclosed garden, substantial off-road parking via a block-paved driveway, and a detached garage. Already extended to the rear, the property offers further scope for enhancement, including the potential for a loft conversion to maximise the stunning outlooks, subject to planning. Being sold with no onward chain, this is a truly charming home with exceptional potential.
The property is entered through a part-glazed UPVC door with a stained-glass feature into a welcoming entrance hallway, where the original block wood flooring immediately sets the tone for the character found throughout. The staircase rises to the first-floor landing, with useful storage cupboards beneath, and doorways lead to both the lounge and the living/dining room. The lounge is an impressive reception room, laid to carpet and featuring an electric fireplace as a focal point, complemented by original picture rails and a stunning double-glazed bay-fronted window that fills the room with natural light.The living/dining room is another generous reception space stretching the full width of the property. Laid to carpet and featuring a second fireplace, it offers ample room for both living and dining furniture, creating a superb social area ideal for hosting. A double-glazed window to the side showcases the beautiful views, while a partly glazed UPVC door leads through to the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a matching range of base units with rolled worktop space and includes a stainless-steel sink with mixer tap, space for a range cooker, fridge-freezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, and additional appliances. Tiled flooring, double-glazed windows spanning the rear elevation, and a part-glazed door opening to the driveway and garden pathway make this a bright and functional space. A built-in pantry cupboard provides excellent storage, and a ground-floor WC is conveniently positioned off the kitchen, fitted with a low-level WC and corner wash-hand basin.
To the first-floor landing, a loft inspection point and doorways lead to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is a generous double room, carpeted and offering multiple fitted wardrobes, ample space for furniture, and a beautiful double-glazed bay-fronted window. Bedroom two is another excellent double bedroom, carpeted with a useful alcove for wardrobes and a double-glazed window to the rear overlooking the garden and enjoying far-reaching views. Bedroom three is a well-proportioned single room, ideal as home office, or hobby space, with a double-glazed window to the front. The family bathroom features a four-piece suite comprising a low-level WC, pedestal wash-hand basin, panel bath, and separate shower with sliding door. Fully tiled walls, vinyl flooring, and an obscure-glazed window to the rear complete the room.
Externally, the property is approached via a generous private driveway finished with attractive block paving, providing substantial off-road parking ahead of the detached garage, which benefits from power. The low-maintenance front garden features decorative stone and mature planting, enhancing the kerb appeal, while the classic bay windows and arched entrance add timeless character. Well-established boundary walls and hedging offer privacy, and the elevated position provides pleasant open outlooks across the surrounding area. To the rear, the property enjoys a fully enclosed wrap-around plot laid mostly to lawn, offering ample space for outbuildings, sheds, greenhouses, or further landscaping. Even at ground level, the views are breathtaking, making this an ideal garden for families, pets, keen gardeners, or anyone who appreciates outdoor space. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the plot, the views, and the potential on offer.
