The new development will retain the existing front street-facing facades of the building, considered to be an integral part of Radstock’s heritage and the ‘gateway’ to Westfield, and have the 1980s shop fronts removed to revert to the farm cottage fronts of the early 1800s.
The development will provide two 2 bedroom cottages, 8 flats including some with designated home/work spaces, and one commercial unit on the ground floor overlooking Co-op Funeralcare. Each property has designated parking. Note: "Shambles" originated as a term for an openair slaughterhouse and meat market, or a site where butchers prepared animals for consumption. This site was historically a farm and later a butcher’s shop, hence The Shambles name. South Elevation on Wells Road
