StudioHIVE submits plans to revive The Battleaxes in Wraxall
Plans have been submitted to turn a disused 19th century Wraxall pub into new offices, homes, a business hub and a licensed coffee shop.
StudioHIVE hopes to revive The Battleaxes, once used as a temperance inn for workers at Tyntesfield Estate. The Grade II listed pub, which was built in 1882, was restored in 2010 before being acquired by the Country Pub Group in 2019.
It closed its doors in 2020 and hasn’t reopened since due to the Country Pub Group going into administration.
The application, which has been submitted to North Somerset Council and is being supported by Wraxall and Failand Parish Council, would see a new two-storey extension built at the rear of the pub to supplement the main building to create new offices for the business.
