Bodelwyddan Vicarage

The Bodelwyddan Vicarage is a 2-story, double-pile parsonage built in a traditional domestic style with subtle Gothic details. It dates to the 18th century and faces west, dominating Bodelwyddan Village. The northern section of the house has attics at both the front and rear. The exterior is constructed of hammer-dressed limestone with snecked courses, featuring ashlar surrounds for door and window openings and other decorative elements. The roofs are slate, with a tile ridge and open lead gutters. Six tall chimneys, each with boldly projecting cornices and offset mouldings, are visible but without chimney pots. Attached are former service ranges forming a courtyard at the north, now converted into separate dwellings called Vicarage Close and excluded from this listing.

The front elevation has six windows, with the first two on the left positioned in a slightly taller, projecting (north) section, extending two stories with an attic. A gabled porch is centrally positioned, and a single window is slightly advanced on the right return. Coped gables are present throughout, including at both ends of the left section, which has a slightly higher roofline. The windows are hornless sash windows with four panes. Dormer windows in the left section have simplified Gothic detailing, including bold Y mullions and steeply pitched roofs. The main entrance is sheltered by a porch with a chamfered 4-centred arch. Slit vents are visible in the gable on the right and at the top of the porch.

The south elevation shows an eaves line marking the front pile on the left, and a slightly projecting gable for the rear pile. A two-story bay window is positioned on the right, constructed of ashlar with canted sides and a stone roof. The north elevation, overlooking the service yard, features a small four-pane sash window and a more recent window.

The rear elevation also has six windows, with the four on the left mirroring the main part of the house. At ground level, two bay windows with stone roofs are present. The two-window right section corresponds to the north section at the front, but on this elevation the roof is not as tall. The four-window left portion of the rear elevation is treated as the main range, with coped gables at each end. The north unit has a four-panel rear door, smaller windows than the rest of the house, and a modern dormer window.
