Bodysgallen was built in 1620 by Robert Wynne. His grandson, also Robert, added the NW wing in the late C17, and his son Dr Hugh Wynne added the NE wing in 1730. The house passed by marriage to the Mostyn family in 1776 and subsequently became a dower house. Lady Augusta Mostyn gave the house to her son Henry, who enlarged the house in 1884, 1894 and 1905. It has been a hotel since 1981.
Bodysgallen had a service yard and buildings to the NE by the early C19. This included the Bailiff's House, which is shown on the 1846 Tithe map, though its character suggests a C18 date.
A 2-storey 3-window cottage of rubble stone with slate roof, hipped to the R, with massive external stack to the L (NE) gable end. Openings have freestone cambered heads with voussoirs, slightly recessed below dripstones. The central boarded door has strap hinges, and has inserted vented panels. Windows are small-pane wooden cross windows inserted into original openings.
The R end wall has similar 1st-floor windows flanking a central 1st-floor doorway reached up wooden steps with stone parapet. It has a replacement boarded door, above which is a blank panel. Below the steps is a central inserted window. The 2-window rear has replacement 1st-floor windows in original openings, similar to the front but without dripstones. In the lower storey is a blocked original doorway L with window inserted. On the R is an inserted doorway with glazed door. On the NE side are attached restored cottages.
Not inspected.
Listed, notwithstanding window replacement, for its special architectural interest as a house retaining early C19 character, and for group value with other associated listed items at Bodysgallen.
