About this property

  • The property is currently in use as a retreat centre. In the past it has been used as a hotel and conference centre. The house stands in generous landscaped grounds and gardens with trees, shrubs and numerous out buildings. The rear of the property is very private, looking down across the garden and fields to the Caerfanell river (which joins the Usk at Talybont) and then up across to a tree lined hillside. There is parking for at least 25 cars, at the front, side and rear of the building. Aberclydach is centrally heated with a biomass boiler, and has a commercial EPC rating of A. The original stone Victorian property was added to in the late 1990's with a very sympathetically designed addition to provide further accommodation for the resident retreat centre staff. Although essentially Aberclydach is one large house, connected internally on the first floor, it is currently used for two distinct and separate purposes: as a retreat centre in the ‘Main House' and for the resident Community who support these activities in the ‘Community House'. Apart from notes about the overall number of bedrooms /bathrooms this information will detail these two areas in turn.

Local information

The stunning Talybont Reservoir, the largest stillwater reservoir that can be found within the centre of the Park (about 318 acres) is also nearby and provides a tranquil setting for walks and bike rides amongst the wildlife.
  • The pretty village of Talybont-on-Usk is only about a mile away with village shop and pubs while good road connections provide quick access to south Wales and into England. The large market town of Brecon is only about 8.5 miles away, Crickhowell about 10 miles and Abergavenny about 16 miles.
