5, The Village

5, The Village is a cottage built around 1857 as part of a development initiated by Hugh Williams, who later became the 3rd baronet Bodelwyddan. This project was designed to accompany the nearby church, parsonage, and schools, which were commissioned by his sister, Lady Margaret Willoughby de Broke. The cottages are arranged in two unequal terraces on the west side of a street that runs at right angles to St Asaph Road, directly across from the vicarage.

The northern terrace originally had six cottages, now seven, constructed in a charming style that features slight Gothic elements. The lower windows project on brackets, while the doors are designed with pointed arches and porch roofs supported by brackets, adorned with decorative bargeboards. In the arrangement, cottages 3 and 6 are set slightly forward and feature gabled fronts, while the other cottages have eaves with dormers. The buildings are made from axe-dressed local limestone that is informally coursed, with ashlar surrounds for the windows. The roofs are covered with slate laid in regular courses, topped with tile ridges, and feature ridge chimneys that have an offset just above the ridge level and enlarged cornices. The upper windows in the gables and dormers consist of 6-pane, 2-light casements, while the lower windows are projected and have slate roofs. The two forward cottages are also distinguished by their door placement and a single roof covering a projecting window.

The terrace originally included a saddlery shop attached to the northernmost cottage and a bakery connected to the southernmost. The saddlery shop has since been converted into an additional cottage, now numbered 1, while the bakery is now part of cottage 7.

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