2 bed semi-detached bungalow for sale

Hillcrest, Pen-Y-Fai CF31

Occupying a generous plot in the ever-popular village of Penyfai, this beautifully presented and extended two double bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers deceptively spacious single-level accommodation and exceptional landscaped gardens with patio areas, composite balcony and a variety of versatile outdoor spaces.

Owned by the current vendors since 2002 and thoughtfully enhanced over the years, including an extension completed in 2022 and a stylish new shower room installed in 2026, this is a home perfectly suited to those seeking space, privacy and flexibility. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of accommodation and the remarkable gardens on offer.

Property Description

The property is approached via an attractive interlocking brick driveway providing off-road parking for two to three vehicles, extending alongside the property to a covered carport. An electric vehicle charging point is fitted to the side of the bungalow, while the landscaped front garden is laid to lawn with decorative chipping borders, mature planting and shrubs, all enclosed by brick boundary walls.

A UPVC double glazed door opens into a welcoming entrance porch with quarry tiled flooring and windows to the front and side elevations. A further door leads into the central hallway, finished with laminate flooring, decorative picture rail detailing and access to the lounge, dining room, both double bedrooms and the family shower room. A loft hatch with drop-down ladder provides access to the partially boarded attic, complete with lighting.

The lounge is a spacious room which enjoys a pleasant outlook to the front and centres around a marble fireplace incorporating a gas fire with the back boiler discreetly positioned behind.

The dining room provides an ideal entertaining space with laminate flooring continuing from the hallway, a feature fireplace with electric fire, window to the side elevation and an internal feature window overlooking the kitchen.

Two built-in storage cupboards provide practical storage, one of which houses the hot water cylinder with useful shelving above.

The kitchen is well appointed with an extensive range of base, wall, drawer and display units complemented by tiled flooring and part tiled walls. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a high-level oven, electric hob and wine racks. The sink is perfectly positioned beneath the rear window overlooking the gardens, while a vertical radiator and additional seating area make this an enjoyable everyday living space. French doors open directly onto a raised composite balcony, while a further external door provides convenient access to the driveway and carport.

The main bedroom has been significantly enlarged as part of the 2022 extension, creating a superb double bedroom with luxury lvt flooring, a contemporary vertical radiator and ample space for wardrobes and additional furniture. French doors open directly onto the raised composite balcony, creating a wonderful connection with the rear garden.

Bedroom two is another generous double room positioned to the front of the property, benefiting from an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, bedside cabinets and fitted desk, offering excellent storage.

The recently refitted shower room has been finished to an excellent standard with contemporary fully tiled walls, lvt flooring, a generous shower enclosure with rainfall shower, vanity unit incorporating the WC and wash hand basin with an array of storage, heated towel rail and obscure glazed window to the rear.

Externally, the rear garden is undoubtedly one of the standout features of this beautiful bungalow. A substantial composite deck stretches across the full width of the bungalow, enclosed by contemporary glazed balustrades with frosted privacy panels and chrome handrails, creating an exceptional entertaining terrace accessed from both the kitchen and main bedroom. The deck leads to a further private seating area before steps descend to a raised patio where the current owners have positioned a hot tub, perfectly placed to enjoy views across the gardens. Useful storage is available beneath the deck.

Further steps lead to an additional patio and a versatile timber outbuilding, currently arranged as a home bar and gym, complete with double doors, windows, power and lighting.

The gardens continue beyond with extensive lawns, mature trees, established planting, a greenhouse, vegetable growing area and a combination of timber and brick-built storage sheds. Towards the far end of the garden lies an additional enclosed area currently used for planting and storage, creating a true "secret garden" feel rarely found in properties of this type.

A further highlight is the bespoke insulated garden cabin, currently used as a music room. Fitted with UPVC double glazed French doors, laminate flooring, power and lighting, this superb space would equally suit those working from home as a home office, studio, hobby room or garden retreat.

Combining spacious accommodation, quality improvements and an exceptional garden setting, this impressive bungalow offers a lifestyle opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find.
