Glancamlais House is a remarkable property with origins dating back to 1804, when it was originally built as cottages for canal workers. In the 1960s, the building underwent significant work to transform it into a single home. Now arranged across four floors, the house combines historic character with unique features such as exposed ceiling joists, stone walls, metal segmental arched windows, and a striking winding staircase made from a tree trunk.

From the canal path, double doors open into a welcoming entrance hall with tiled flooring, a cloaks cupboard, and a WC. This leads into a spacious living room, enhanced by a large wood-burning stove, and a stylish kitchen/breakfast room fitted with ample storage, including swing-and-slide space-saving corner cupboards. The kitchen is finished with oak worktops and high-quality appliances such as a Samsung ceramic induction hob, stainless steel Bosch full-size warming drawer, Bosch pyrolitic self-cleaning oven, fridge, plumbing for a dishwasher, and an additional fitted Bosch oven with an integrated microwave. A second entrance hall also provides canal access and connects to the feature staircase.

The first floor houses two bedrooms and a shower room, while the second floor is home to a third bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom. On the lower ground floor, there is a large utility room along with two store rooms, previously used as a furniture workshop and printing business during the 1970s.

Outside, the property benefits from a gated carport and several attractive seating areas, including a paved terrace and a circular chipping area. Steps lead to a further paved section with a wooden bridge, pond, and mature shrub and herbaceous borders. Beyond lies a lawn with raised beds, a greenhouse, and a wooden shed, with a gate opening to a second lawn that can be used for parking, accessed via a right of way from the road below. From the rear, the house enjoys stunning countryside and hillside views, while the canal path offers endless walking opportunities.

The property is equipped with oil central heating and is offered with no onward chain, making it ready for immediate viewing.

Situated in the highly sought-after village of Talybont-on-Usk within the Brecon Beacons National Park, the home enjoys access to local amenities including a post office/shop, village hall, and several pubs. The area is well known for its vibrant community spirit and outdoor lifestyle, with opportunities for hiking, cycling, canoeing, and horse riding on the doorstep. The market town of Brecon, just seven miles away, offers a wider selection of shops and services including a cinema, theatre, leisure centre, library, golf course, schools, and Christ College, an independent boarding school for boys and girls aged 7–18. The popular town of Crickhowell is nine miles away, and Abergavenny, with its mainline rail links, lies fourteen miles from the property.
