A derelict woodland cottage unoccupied for nearly 25 years could be brought back into use.

The executors of Mrs Catherine Jones have applied to Denbighshire County Council’s planning committee for the resumption of use of a property known as Tyn y Llwyn as a home.

The small single-storey 19th century house can be found in a woodland known as Coed Ty’n Llwyn.

Accessible from an unadopted track, the house stands around 1km south of Rhewl and a slightly greater distance northeast of Ruthin.

Evidence submitted to Denbighshire County Council shows the house was occupied until around 1999.

Her son Mr Hywel Lloyd Jones moved from his former family home to Manchester in 1973.

Mr Jones now lives in Cheadle with his family but submitted a statement to Denbighshire documenting the house’s history.
