KNUTSFORD company Modern Unique Developments is up for three accolades at the LABC Building Excellence Awards.

The firm has been nominated for the best extension or alteration to an existing home at Parkgate Farm, Sudlow Lane, Tabley.

The other nominations are for best local builder or traditional craftsperson, and best change of use of an existing building or conversion for Sudlow Fruit Farm at Tabley.

The awards evening is on Friday, April 27 at Emirates Old Trafford at Lancashire County Cricket Club at Manchester.

“Like our developments, we’re Cheshire through and through,” said company founders Tim Hatton and Matt Taylor.

“And like a lot of Knutsford natives we’ve remained loyal to the area. We raised our own families here – around the unique combination of class and character that crafted our childhoods.

“Our developments are carefully chosen with an eye for safeguarding not only the rich history of their surroundings, but also the architectural and agricultural legacies that shape the fabric and the spirit of the buildings themselves.

“We are also committed to sustainability beyond the surface level – passionate about blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create unique homes at little or no cost to the environment.”
