Group Description
One of 2 unequal terraces of cottages built on a new site in c1857 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 west side of a street at right angles to the St Asaph Road, opposite the vicarage.
There were 6 (now 7) cottages in the N terrace. They are built in a picturesque articulated style with slight Gothic elements; the lower windows project on brackets and the doors have pointed arches and porch-roofs on brackets with decorative bargeboards. In the elevation composition 2 cottages (nos. 3 and 6) 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. The upper windows both in gables and dormers are 6-pane 2-light casement windows. The lower windows are projected and have slate roofs. The 2 advancing cottages are differentiated also by the placing of the door and projecting window under a single roof. The terrace incorporated a saddlery shop attached to the northernmost cottage and a bakery attached to the southernmost.
The saddlery shop at the N end was converted to be an additional cottage (no. 1). At the S end of the terrace the bakery is now integral with no. 7.
At the rear of the terrace are 6 wash-houses with latrines as freestanding pairs. Beyond a rear lane there was a row of pigsties, some of which (e.g. rear of no.5) are intact; most have been informally replaced by the occupants' garages.
