The Russells

The Russells is located behind the high street of Broadway village, a World Heritage site on the Northern edge of the Cotswalds. Built on the brownfield land of a former factory set up by 1920 Arts and Crafts style furniture maker Gordon Russell, it is now a mixed-use development of 77 private and affordable homes with mixed use including a supermarket and a museum.

The developer has refurbished 16th Century buildings into shops and a restaurant along the high street and created pedestrian links to a new supermarket and public pedestrian square behind. Across the square an old barn has been converted into a new museum. With housing for the elderly identified as a local priority, 24 flats special needs flats have been built beside the square and supermarket around a secure court.

Beyond the square a new access road leads to a mix of new apartments and terraced houses. The development provides a variety of quality homes, new public amenity and much needed mixed use, while remaining sensitive in design to the local historical building style.
