6, The Village

6, The Village is a cottage built around 1857 as part of a development initiated by Hugh Williams, later the 3rd baronet Bodelwyddan, to support the nearby church, parsonage, and schools established by his sister, Lady Margaret Willoughby de Broke. This group of cottages forms the northern terrace of a picturesque street that runs at right angles to the St Asaph Road, opposite the vicarage.

The terrace originally consisted of six cottages, now seven, designed in a charming style with slight Gothic influences. The lower windows project on brackets, while the doors feature pointed arches and porch roofs supported by brackets with decorative bargeboards. Cottages 3 and 6 are set slightly forward and have gabled fronts, while the others have eaves with dormers. The cottages are constructed from axe-dressed local limestone, laid in informal courses, with ashlar window surrounds. They have slate roofs with regular courses and tile ridges, along with ridge chimneys that have an offset just above the ridge level and enlarged cornices. The upper windows, located in both gables and dormers, are 6-pane, 2-light casement windows, while the lower windows are projected and topped with slate roofs. The two forward cottages are also distinguished by the arrangement of their doors and a projecting window beneath a single roof.

The northernmost cottage originally included a saddlery shop, which has since been converted into an additional cottage (now numbered 1), while the southernmost cottage incorporated a bakery that is now part of cottage number 7.

At the rear of the terrace, there are six wash-houses with latrines, arranged as freestanding pairs. Beyond a rear lane, there was a row of pigsties, some of which, such as the one behind cottage number 5, remain intact, although most have been replaced informally by the occupants' garages.
