SOUTH Lakeland home builder Russell Armer Homes is celebrating being named among the winners in the regional heat of the prestigious International Property Awards.

The company has scooped either a highly commended accolade, or become a five-star winner for the county in the category of Residential Development, Cumbria.

The properties recognised by the award judges are those at Greengate Gardens in Levens – a development Russell Armer Homes completed in autumn 2013.

Results will be announced at a glittering gala and presentation dinner dance at the Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square, London, on the evening of Friday, October 24.

If the home builder becomes a five-star winner, it will compete against the other five-star winners nationwide and could become a national winner. From there, it could represent the UK in the international awards, competing against winners from Asia Pacific, Africa, Arabia, Canada, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
