9, The Village

9, The Village is one of two uneven terraces of cottages built around 1857 during the time of Hugh Williams, who later became the 3rd baronet Bodelwyddan. These cottages were constructed to accompany the church, parsonage, and schools established under the direction of his sister, Lady Margaret Willoughby de Broke. The development was planned as part of the west side of a street that runs at right angles to St Asaph Road, opposite the vicarage.

The south terrace consists of 11 cottages designed in a picturesque style that relates to the northern terrace but features even more restrained Gothic elements. In the arrangement, three cottages (numbers 8, 13, and 18) are set slightly forward and have gabled fronts, while the other cottages display eaves with dormers. The cottages are built from axe-dressed local limestone that is informally coursed, with ashlar window surrounds. They have slate roofs laid in regular courses with tile ridges, and ridge chimneys that have an offset just above the ridge level and enlarged cornices. Unlike the northern terrace, the chimneys here feature ribs on their broad faces, similar to those found on the service yard buildings at Bodelwyddan Castle. The upper windows, located in both gables and dormers, are 6-pane 2-light casement windows, while the lower windows are 9-pane 3-light casement windows.

Some modifications have been made to the cottages. Notable masonry changes can be seen in numbers 9 and 10, which have slightly disrupted the symmetry of the terrace. At the southern end, number 18 has been enlarged at the rear and may have been used as two separate cottages at some point. Additionally, there are masonry alterations, and the lower windows are lead-quarried.
