Craven Barn Wins at The Yorkshires Residential Real Estate Awards 2025
We are absolutely thrilled to share that Craven Barn has won Best Small Development at the 2025 Yorkshires Residential Real Estate Awards.
Hosted at a glittering award ceremony at New Dock Hall in Leeds last night, the event brought together some of the region’s most exceptional projects and talent in residential development. To have Craven Barn recognised among such outstanding company is a true honour and a moment of real pride for everyone involved.
The award was proudly accepted on the night by Craig Mewse, the project’s lead architect, who took to the stage on behalf of the project team.
A Celebration of Craft, Care, and Character
Craven Barn is a stunning conversion of a redundant agricultural barn into a contemporary family home. The project exemplifies what we strive for in our residential work: a design that is respectful of history and place, yet entirely fit for modern living.
This home masterfully balances the old and the new – retaining the soul of the original structure while introducing modern spatial solutions, including a dramatic double-height entrance, Extensive glazing for natural light and views and a calm, neutral interior palette layered with texture and bespoke joinery
The result is an architecturally striking yet deeply warm and liveable space, a home that is rooted in its rural setting, but equipped for the future.
A Night with Purpose
As well as celebrating excellence in residential real estate, the evening helped raise vital funds for the Yorkshire Children’s Charity, supporting disadvantaged children and young people across the region. We are proud to be part of an industry that not only builds better places to live — but comes together to support those who need it most.
Looking Ahead
While Craven Barn took home the prize last night, we were also proud to see the Spring Meadow project for Pure Haus in Drighlington shortlisted, a groundbreaking Passive House development that sets new benchmarks for low-energy, healthy homes at scale.
Recognition from The Yorkshires Residential Real Estate Awards means the world to us, because it acknowledges not just the aesthetic and technical quality of our work, but also its real-world impact on people, place, and planet.
Here’s to continuing to push boundaries in residential design.
