Top Three for Broomfield Avenue in Northern Design Awards 

Hot on the heels of Yorkshire property developer Conroy Brook winning ‘Most Outstanding Retirement Development in the UK’ for its Holme Valley Court complex in Holmfirth, sister company Towngate Homes made the top three in the Best Family New Build category of the prestigious Northern Design Awards.

The judging for the Northern Design Awards was down to a respected panel of experts in their fields. Sir Terence Conran joined the panel this year for the first time along with infamous designer Wayne Hemingway, and Suzanne Imre of Livingetc magazine. Jan Constantine, Diarmuid Gavin, Nick Munro and RIBA Chairman Geoff Alsop also had the hard task of scoring the hundreds of entries.

Shelley Bond, Event Manager said: “The Northern Design Awards reinforce the region’s commitment to breathtaking design, cutting edge style and quality craftsmanship. I have been absolutely delighted with the amount, and quality, of entries this year.”

The host for the evening’s proceedings was Mr. George Clark of Channel 4 programme ‘Restoration Man’. Mr. Clarke described the evening as “A truly inspirational evening. It was incredibly exciting to see so many Northern Businesses celebrating true talent and real skill from all over the region.”

Broomfield Avenue is a luxury residential development of 16 craftsman-built, spacious, natural stone detached homes and townhouses, occupying a 2 acre site within a conservation area overlooking Savile Park on the outskirts of Halifax town centre.

The development has previously received accolades at the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards and the UK Residential Property Awards, whilst sister company Conroy Brook, was named Housebuilder of the Year (small-medium category) and Best Design for Somersbury Court in Almondbury, Huddersfield in the Housebuilder of the Year Awards 2010.
