The House
The
house, a 2* listed building, was built as Almshouses for clergy widows in
1750, probably on the site of an earlier building associated with the medieval
Parish Church in Corwen. There were originally six small houses, with one room
downstairs and one upstairs and a brew house at the end of the row where they
could brew their ale (now the kitchen!) Four of the front doors remain and if
you look carefully you can see signs of the remaining two. An archway divides
the house into two parts and leads into the churchyard and a path to the town
square. Corwen itself is a small market town (about 1200 in population). It
has two banks, post office and some small shops. There is a swimming pool and
gym about half a mile from Coleg y Groes. We are at the foot of the Berwyn
mountains and the Snowdonia National park is near.
There are five bedrooms, a lounge, dining room and quiet room. All rooms have central heating (the quiet room has a gas fire) and there is a log fire in the lounge on chilly evenings.
