Located close to the historic town of Llanfyllin within the Cain Valley near the Shropshire border is this impressive Georgian Grade II listed country house with Victorian additions.

Bodfach Hall is on sale for £2,650,000 and is marketed by Mark Wiggin Estate Agents, Ludlow, via OnTheMarket.

Spoilt with enviable views overlooking the rolling hills of the Welsh Marches and boasting Grade II listed gardens which are comprised of a part castellated walled garden, a sheltered courtyard, a south facing veranda, a small lake, statue garden, and expansive woodland and rolling parkland through which the River Cain flows, the outdoor space available at this home is just as impressive as its interior. 

While the 83-acre estate dates back to the 12th century, a home has stood proudly on the site since the 13th century and is still accented by ornate plaster work, characterful arches, and Doric style columns today. As part of its rich history, for many years after the war Bodfach Hall was a highly regarded bespoke hotel before becoming a much-loved family home which is now seeking new owners. 

The long driveway through the parkland which crosses the river Cain is lined with ancient oak trees leads to the entrance of the home. On the ground floor, Bodfach Hall offers five reception rooms complete with tiled and oak floors and feature fireplaces, alongside a large kitchen, a study and original larder with slate shelving. A guest wing with two ensuite bedrooms completes the ground floor, while the first floor houses six principal bedrooms, five of which benefit from an ensuite, and to the top floor a further five bedrooms, family bathroom and kitchenette can be found. 

Beyond the main accommodation in the grounds of the property lies the cupola topped Georgian Coach House with Gothic windows which is currently being used as a workshop and has the potential to host a gym space or workshop. Additionally, the Garden Cottage boasts a sitting room, kitchen, conservatory and two bedrooms, as well as its own garden with a greenhouse and a small pond making it the perfect guest house or additional accommodation for family. Completing the impressive offerings of the estate is Courtyard Cottage to the rear of the main house which itself provides the potential for additional, spacious and independent living.
