1 Hillcrest is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Pen-Y-Fai, Bridgend, Bridgend (CF31 4NL). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949.

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor.
