Bryn Howel sits on the north side of the Llangollen Canal. The existing house was built in 1896 for the younger J.C. Edwards, who followed his father into the brick-making business. With bright red brickwork, terracotta, tile hanging, and tiled roof, their products are much in evidence. There is also half-timbering. A room in a wing which is perhaps a later addition has a bold stone chimneypiece and elaborate plaster ceiling. Elsewhere is imported woodwork, including panelling and a Jacobean over-mantel. The staircase looks mid-C18, with swept rail, ornamented stair ends, Corinthian newels, and slender twisted balusters. The house has been extended, as a hotel, and the original main entrance obscured. It was used in 1940 as a billet for army personnel. A field below the canal was turned into a football field. The gardens, which contain a walled garden, produced all the vegetables and fruit and flowers for the hall.
