A cleverly converted stone stable block, Treble Hill is a delightful four-bedroom Georgian home set within 1.5 acres of gently sloping grounds. It lies on the edge of pastoral Glasbury-on-Wye, close to the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and eight minutes’ drive from the perennially popular Hay-on-Wye. Inside, a rustic appeal is furthered by materials like slate, oak, polished concrete and glass. The house faces south-west, an orientation that draws in day-long light and is particularly serene come evening time. Outside are several outbuildings, including a substantial traditional stone barn with scope for further development subject to planning. Abergavenny and Hereford stations can be reached by car providing rail services to the likes of Cardiff, London and Manchester.

Glasbury’s roots reach back to the early medieval period, when it stood as a river crossing on the ancient route between England and the Welsh borderlands. Its historic core clusters around a substantial 18th-century bridge and the remains of an earlier motte-and-bailey castle, long since softened by time and turf. Once a resting point for drovers and pilgrims, the village has retained its sense of peaceful continuity, where stone farmhouses and chapels echo the quiet dignity of the borderland past.

Treble Hill was originally the stables and outbuildings to the prominent Georgian merchant’s house nearby, and still sits within its Grade II-listed curtilage. Careful attention has been paid to preserving its heritage, with exposed beams, stone walls and reclaimed timber provide a tangible connection to its past. A historic hub of local employment in the early 19th-century wool trade, there also once stood a substantial mill warehouse on the grounds, the stone wall remnants of which can still be seen today.
