Hillcrest is a characterful three-bedroom detached family home set on a generous plot in the heart of Shamley Green. The house blends period charm with practical modern updates — a neutral shaker-style kitchen, two reception rooms and double-glazed windows — and sits a short stroll from the village green and local schools. The large, productive garden with fruit trees, greenhouse and raised beds will appeal to families who value outdoor space and home-grown produce.
Inside, the layout is comfortable and straightforward: two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, and a ground-floor shower room give flexible day-to-day living, while upstairs provides two double bedrooms, a single and a family bathroom. A tandem-length garage and wide private driveway offer plentiful parking for multiple cars or a trailer.
The plot is a standout asset. A wide terrace leads to an expansive lawn bordered by mature planting, creating excellent safe play space and entertaining areas. There is clear scope to extend to the side or rear (subject to planning), which would increase accommodation or enlarge living spaces for a growing family.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working. Council tax is described as expensive. The property has been well cared for but any purchaser should factor in typical maintenance for a house of this age and the need to secure planning consent for any extension works.
Overall, Hillcrest offers a rare combination of village convenience, generous outdoor amenity and sensible living spaces, making it a strong proposition for families seeking room to live and grow in a peaceful Surrey village.
