16, The Village

16, The Village is one of two unequal 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 developments were planned together on the west side of a street that runs at right angles to the St Asaph Road, directly opposite the vicarage.

The south terrace consists of 11 cottages designed in a picturesque articulated style that relates to the northern terrace, although the Gothic elements are more subdued. In the elevation, three cottages (numbers 8, 13, and 18) project slightly forward and feature gabled fronts, while the remaining cottages have eaves at the front with dormers. They are constructed from axe-dressed local limestone that is informally coursed, with ashlar window surrounds. The roofs are covered with slate laid in regular courses and have tile ridges, with ridge chimneys that feature an offset just above ridge level and enlarged cornices. Unlike the northern terrace, the chimneys on this terrace have 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 over time. Notable masonry changes are visible in numbers 9 and 10, which slightly disrupt the symmetry of the terrace. At the southern end, number 18 has been enlarged at the rear and may have been used as two cottages at some point.
