Group Description
One of 2 unequal terraces of cottages built on a new site in c.1857 in the time of Hugh Williams (later 3rd baronet Bodelwyddan) to accompany the church, parsonage and schools built on the instructions of his sister, Lady Margaret Willoughby de Broke. These developments were planned together as the W side of a street at right angles to the St Asaph Road, opposite the vicarage.
There are 11 cottages in the south terrace. They are built in a picturesque articulated style related to that of the N terrace, but with the slight Gothic elements even more restrained. In the elevation composition 3 cottages (nos. 8, 13 and 18) stand slightly forward and have gabled fronts. The other cottages have eaves to the front with dormers. Axe dressed local limestone informally coursed; ashlar window surrounds; slate roofs in regular courses with tile ridges; ridge chimneys with an offset just above ridge level and enlarged cornices. In this terrace (unlike the northern terrace) the chimneys have ribs on the broad faces (compare chimneys of service yard buildings at Bodelwyddan Castle). The upper windows both in gables and dormers are 6-pane 2-light casement windows. The lower windows are 9-pane 3-light casement windows.
The cottages have in some cases been modified. Masonry changes are evident in nos. 9 and 10 which have slightly affected the symmetry. At the S end of the terrace no. 18 has been enlarged to the rear, and may have been occupied at some period as 2 cottages.
