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. Understood to have been built in the mid 1970s, it provides generous, spacious and adaptable accommodation with additional scope to further improve to one’s own specifications f ever required. From a central ground floor hallway, staircase leads to the first floor while double doors lead into the family lounge. Additional doors lead into the dining room, to an additional reception room/study and to the kitchen breakfast room with one further door opening to a cloakroom/WC (formerly a WC and shower room). The family lounge is a long room running the depth of the property with bay window to one end and sliding doors at the other opening onto a paved patio with gardens beyond - a great spot which to enjoy the views over the area. It has, as a focal feature, an exposed stone fire surround with wood burner recessed within. An open arch links to a dining area. Kitchen/breakfast room is a generous space with storage cupboards to two sides flanking a central space for a generous dining table. Space remains for a freestanding electric cooker, for a low level fridge and with plumbing for a dishwasher. A separate, additional built-in oven is to remain. To the adjacent utility room there is much extra room for fridge/freezer, storage and with space and plumbing for a washing machine and a dryer. A doorway from the utility area leads to the rear of the property. An additional reception room – currently used as a second sitting room – can be used for many and various things and has, in the past, been used as a home study/office.

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.
