'Six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a guest wing': MP's £2.65m country pile on the market
An MP's stunning country home which hosts a major agricultural show has been put on the market for £2.65 million.
Bodfach Hall in Llanfyllin, owned by Clywd South MP Simon Baynes, is up for sale with Mark Wiggin estate agents.
The hall, which hosts the Llanfyllin Show, was bought by Mr Baynes and his wife Maggie in 2007. It boasts six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a "guest wing".
Its brochure says: "Bodfach Hall is an outstanding principally Georgian Grade II listed country house standing in beautiful gardens, with magnificent woodland and rolling parkland through which flows the River Cain. There are two cottages and a stunning coach house, also with potential accommodation. Now a much-loved family home,
"Bodfach Hall was a highly regarded bespoke hotel for many years after the war and with its size and scope could be so again.
"The house is situated in the Cain Valley in the glorious Welsh Marches, close to the Shropshire border. It has a fascinating and well chronicled history from the estate’s origins in 12th Century when recorded in the will of Madoc ap Meredydd, the Prince of Powys. There has been a house on the site since the 13th Century and the present building is Georgian with Victorian additions.
"It includes ornate, decorative plaster work, arches, doric style columns and an Italianate classical style entrance hall, elegant reception rooms with impressive fireplaces and polished oak and tiled floors. Many of the windows have fine etched-glass insets. Along with the elegant drawing and dining rooms is the impressive panelled Oak Room.
"The family room, cosy study and a traditional fitted kitchen with its four door AGA range, original north facing larder with slate shelves and pantry, ensure comfortable family living space, while it is also a house which lends itself to large scale entertaining. There is a guest wing on the ground floor with two en-suite bedrooms.
"An 18th Century oak staircase leads to a particularly striking landing lit by a roof light with etched-glass panels. There are six principal bedrooms all with views of the surrounding valley and five individually styled en-suite bathrooms. A further staircase leads to the second floor with a kitchenette and five further bedrooms, family bathroom and shower rooms."
