Ground floor
The front door, elegantly framed by opaque glazed panels, opens into an impressive reception hall of real stature, where finely detailed Minton tiling sits beautifully alongside oak flooring. This striking introduction sets a confident tone, centred around a sweeping staircase and providing access to much of the principal ground floor accommodation, with discreet integrated storage and access to the cellar enhancing practicality.
To the left, a superbly proportioned reception room is illuminated by a deep bay window, with a refined open fireplace set within an ornate marble surround forming a distinguished focal point. Equally suited as a formal dining room, this space is perfectly arranged for entertaining on a grand yet intimate scale.
Beyond, double doors reveal a generously appointed breakfast kitchen, thoughtfully designed around an impressive central island with timber work surface. An extensive range of bespoke cabinetry is complemented by a Rangemaster cooker, while a further bay window draws in natural light. Direct access to the rear terrace seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living.
To the opposing side of the hall is the drawing room, which provides an elegant and expansive setting, currently arranged as a luxurious seating area with bar, making it ideal for both relaxed evenings and formal entertaining.
An inner corridor leads to a series of well-considered ancillary spaces, including a cloakroom, snug and substantial storage, before continuing to a secondary suite incorporating a kitchenette, boot room and additional WC. This arrangement offers exceptional flexibility, lending itself perfectly to independent guest accommodation or discreet annexe living.

First floor
The principal staircase rises to an impressive first-floor landing, thoughtfully arranged to provide access to two distinct wings of accommodation. Positioned centrally is the family bathroom, elegantly appointed with a raised double bath, separate shower enclosure, vanity basin, WC and bidet.
To the left, three generously proportioned bedrooms are arranged alongside a dedicated laundry room. Two of these bedrooms are particularly notable, each benefitting from deep bay windows that frame attractive views towards St David’s Church and beyond to the Clwydian Range, bringing both natural light and a strong sense of place.
The right-hand wing offers further versatility, comprising two additional bedrooms and a well-placed study, positioned above the ground floor kitchenette and connected via an internal staircase — an ideal arrangement for independent or ancillary use. One of the rooms is currently configured as a reception and dressing suite, complete with en suite bathroom; its impressive scale offers clear potential for reconfiguration into a superb principal suite, should one desire.
A secondary staircase ascends to the upper level, where a quiet seating area introduces a further landing. This floor accommodates three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom and useful storerooms, providing excellent flexibility for larger families or guest accommodation.

Gardens and grounds
Bod Gwilym is approached via wide timber gates opening onto an expansive and secure private courtyard, providing ample parking for numerous vehicles. The front garden has been thoughtfully arranged for ease of maintenance, featuring neatly tended lawns and well-stocked planted borders that frame a charming morning terrace, an inviting space perfectly positioned to capture the early sun and enjoy the outlook.
The principal gardens lie to the rear, offering a more private and tranquil setting. A paved pathway leads to a sheltered pergola terrace, creating an idyllic environment for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining. From here, the terraced area flows seamlessly into a generous expanse of lawn, enclosed by mature planting, established shrubs, and a variety of trees, lending both privacy and seasonal interest.
A further enclosed section of garden extends to the side, incorporating an additional terrace and discreetly positioned bin store, with convenient access linking back to the front courtyard. The overall outside space is both versatile and well-balanced, complementing the scale and character of the property while providing a practical and highly enjoyable outdoor environment.
