A Brampton property has been recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects in its North West Regional Awards.
The stylish family home on Gelt Road was named as one of the winners of the awards.
It received great praise from judges who said: "There is a confident modesty about the architecture, which provides proper space for the stuff of life: storage, shoes, and coats, alongside a combination of spacious and snug family spaces with incredible views.
"The architects have successfully fulfilled the family’s brief for a house that balances simple practicality with an appreciation of its wild and beautiful setting."
The property replaced a 1960s stable/workshop that had fallen into disrepair and integrated reclaimed red sandstone from the former Brampton Methodist Chapel into its wall.
