A PROPERTY developer based in the Holme Valley is celebrating after reaching the finals of two award schemes.

Brockholes-based Conroy Brook was a finalist in the Northern Design Awards ceremony in Chester for its Somersbury Court flats development in Almondbury.

And the firm was a runner-up in the West Yorkshire Built In Quality Awards for its retirement living complex Holme Valley Court in Holmfirth.

Managing director Ivan Conroy said: “We are delighted to have reached the finals in these two awards and be recognised for the time, effort and workmanship we put into each development we build.

“We always pay particular attention to design and architecture, embrace new technology where appropriate and always have the eventual home owner in mind.”

Holme Valley Court has been built in the grounds of Holme Valley Memorial Hospital.

It features full disabled access, 24-hour alarm call systems in all flats, video phone entry and a plug-in point for electric buggies.

Somersbury Court, which is nearing completion, features 30 flats and innovative features such as curved glass balconies and the latest ecologically-friendly, cost-efficient heating system.
