A famous mansion estate with hundreds of years of history has come on the market.
The estate at Gwysaney Hall is recorded in the Doomsday Book and had links to 9th century Welsh king Rhodri Mawr.
Its present hall was built on the current site in 1603 by Robert Davies and in 1645 was besieged and taken by Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads.
The property has been in the hands of the Davies-Cooke family for more than 450 years.
But now it has come on the market with estate agent Strutt and Parker for £2.75m.
The Jacobean mansion near Mold comes with 26 acres of land, its own stables and two cottages.
Bells Lewers, from Strutt and Parker, said: "Rarely has a house had such a colourful and well documented history.
"Links to Rhodri Mawr the King of all Wales in the 9th Century and continuous family ownership since 1550 are just some of the highlights.
"It is believed that the first house was originally located at Shifna Hir and the present Hall was built on the current site in 1603 by Robert Davies.
"The Hall was originally designed and built in a formal H shape, but the east wing cracked in 1825 and required rebuilding.
"Perhaps Gwysaney's most notable moment was in 1645 when the Hall was besieged and taken by Oliver Cromwell's Roundheads.
"All that remains from the scars of the battle is damage to the front door caused by a cannon ball!"
There are eight bedrooms in the main property, a reception hall which was part of the original hall, a drawing room, as well as a billiard room/library.
Outside the award-winning gardens begin with mesmerising views across the Flintshire countryside, then progress into four paddocks and equestrian facilities.
There are ruins of the old chapel within the grounds, a mini maze and an award-winning pinetum, which is a collection of pine and conifers planted for ornamental or scientific purposes.
