History Of The Property - Combining its 1920s architectural heritage, exceptional internal proportions and wealth of original craftsmanship with its prominent position within Corwen, this is a genuinely distinctive property with a fascinating past and considerable individual appeal.

Corwen is a historic market town in Denbighshire, North Wales, beautifully positioned at the western end of the Dee Valley, beneath the Berwyn Mountains and alongside the River Dee. The town has a particularly strong sense of history, with its origins reaching back to the 6th century, when a religious community was established around the church of Saints Mael and Sulien.

The town is perhaps best known for its association with Owain Glyndwr, the last native-born Prince of Wales. Glyndwr was proclaimed Prince of Wales in 1400 at nearby Glyndyfrdwy, and his connection with the area remains an important part of Corwen's identity. His imposing equestrian statue stands in the town square.

Corwen has also long been an important crossroads and stopping point. Its position on the historic route through the Dee Valley saw it develop as a centre for cattle drovers before becoming an important coaching town following Thomas Telford's improvements to the A5. The railway arrived in 1864, further increasing the town's importance as a transport link.

Today, the town provides a useful range of everyday amenities while retaining its traditional market-town character. There are cafés, pubs, restaurants, independent shops and local services within the town centre, while the surrounding communities add further places to eat and explore.
