About The Property - Hilltop is a sizeable, detached family home in an elevated position, enjoying a westerly aspect looking out over Graig Penllyn village onto the Wynch Field.

To the first floor a central landing area has doors to all six bedrooms and to the shower room. The largest of these bedrooms is a very spacious double with its own dressing area linking into the contemporary en-suite shower room. Of the five further bedrooms, four are especially generous doubles. These bedrooms share use of a shower room/wet room with adapted bathroom furniture.
