Bodynfoel Hall

Bodynfoel Hall is a large house situated on an elevated site overlooking landscaped grounds. It dates from the 18th century and has a rectangular plan. The main elevation faces the garden to the south, although the west side is the primary entrance. The architectural style is defined by the strong detailing of the south elevation, featuring a repeating pattern of five coped gables connected by a spine roof range, and a careful balance of window and chimney sizes. The symmetrical end elevations also contribute to its appearance. The house is two storeys high, with both levels being substantial in height. It is constructed of grey ashlar masonry with cream-coloured stone dressings around the windows, except at the rear where the stonework is uncoursed. The roofs are covered in random slate, with laced valleys and tile ridges, and the chimney stacks are built with red Ruabon bricks, featuring pronounced corbelling and octagonal pots.

The long sides of the house have five windows each, while the short sides have three. All four elevations are organized around symmetrical gables. The south elevation includes three dormers in the central section, along with a central ground-floor bay window. A two-storey gabled porch is centrally positioned on the west elevation, while the east elevation has a corresponding slight central recess. The north elevation features a broad projecting central gable, likely an addition to the original design, and represents the only part of the house that is three storeys high.

The windows are mullion and transom type, with two, three or four lights. In the flanking gables, the window configuration is either three lights above four (on the front elevation) or two lights above three. Most windows have Tudor-style hood moulds. A large glazed sun-room is located to the east of the main house. Adjacent to the sun-room to the east is a span-roofed structure, linked by a low connection and used as a separate dwelling. This building is constructed of uncoursed stonework, has a slate roof with a tile ridge, and features modern windows with small panes. The interior of the main house was not inspected.
