A NEWLY-built home in Bratton Clovelly has been recognised for building excellence in a recent regional awards ceremony.

Homeowners Ann and David Barrow were presented with a ‘Best individual new home’ award in the South West, including Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset in the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) awards.

The awards celebrate achievement in the construction industry, rewarding excellent buildings, outstanding companies and individuals that go the extra mile.

Ann Barrow said: ‘Lowen House is a contemporary three bed house, built to a very high specification in an exceptional location. It has been a long collaboration between ourselves and our builder Pavillion Construction, to achieve an outstanding home.

‘The award was for exceptional craftmanship, sustainability, site safety and relationships with planning and building control.

‘It was amazing to receive the accolade of best new home when the competition was so fierce. It is a testament to all those involved, from the planners at West Devon, the building inspectors, our construction team, myself and my husband along with other local businesses.’
