Elizabethan Manor in Llandegla hits market for £1,900,000

Bodidris Hall is a Grade II listed restored manor set within approximately 6.99 acres with stunning views and is on the market with estate agents Savills.

The manor was built by the Lloyds of Bodidris, an important gentry family who rose to prominence under the Tudors and used as accommodation for the Earl of Leicester, who fought with Evan Lloyd in Ireland and knighted him in 1586.

Leicester is said to have used Bodidris between 1563 and 1578 as his hunting lodge and his heraldic badge, the bear and the ragged staff, appears on the south gable.

During the 19th century the ownership of Bodidris passed to the Williams family of Bodelwyddan Castle. Sir Hugh Williams gave money for the new school at Llandegla and his sister paid for the rebuilding of Llandegla church.

In the house, the heavy panelled front door of the property leads into a hall with a stone floor, a cloakroom and wc. It leads to a reception hall linking the kitchen to the main reception rooms and containing wonderful ancient oak stairs. Beneath the stairs is a larder/wine store.

A fine oak partition provides the division from the superb family kitchen with an excellent bespoke Clive Christian kitchen with high-quality appliances, including a LaCanche cooking range, marble worktops and a substantial island.

At the front of the house offering views over the grounds and valley beyond is an impressive drawing room with heavy oak beams, bespoke oak flooring, a fireplace, panelled walls and a dining room also with bespoke flooring.
