Meet the winners!

We reveal the inspirational finalists in Period Living’s Readers’ Awards 2011.

Read more about these award-winning homes in the November 2011 issue of Period Living - on sale now!

What a great summer we’ve had: we have received a remarkable number of entries to our Readers’ Awards 2011, and even more than ever via the website, so thanks to everyone who took the time to get in touch. We’ve enjoyed reading all your stories – and it has been wonderful travelling round the UK photographing our seven finalists. Thanks must also go to our sponsor Kit Stone, makers of luxury bespoke kitchens and interior and garden furniture at affordable prices; its ethos matches the aim of our Awards perfectly – and this year’s winners prove that you don’t have to spend a lot to achieve impressive results.

	Best Cottage, Sonja and Kevin Bergin Read more about this award-winning period renovation... Reader verdict: ‘Moving in with little in the way of creature comforts shows true dedication, and the final result is stunning,’ says Nicola Herd.
	Best Townhouse, Sandy and Peter Borchert Read more about this award-winning Georgian townhouse... Reader verdict: ‘Such an elegant home,’ says Patricia A Mellett. ‘I would love to live in a house as beautiful as this one day.’
	Best Apartment, Sam White and Louise Eddom Read more about this award-winning apartment... Reader verdict: ‘Sophistication and cosiness at its best,’ says Josephine Clarke. ‘This is a great example of how to inject light and colour into a small space, while keeping the period features.’
	Best Cottage & Readers' Choice, Sarah Locke and Stephen Bradshaw Read more about this award-winning cottage... Reader verdict: ‘This property instantly caught my eye,’ says Mick Stewart. ‘What an inspiring restoration, which has obviously been treated to a lot of care and attention. Well done.’
	Best Country House, Pamela and Jason Crawley Read more about this award-winning Georgian farmhouse... Reader verdict: ‘It was wonderful to see a renovation that involved the whole family,’ says Sandra Edwards, ‘and their individual expertise clearly shines through. Spectacular efforts.’

Each of our prize winners will receive vouchers to spend at a hotel of their choice from the Pride of Britain Collection (prideofbritainhotels.com).

Well done to all our finalists. But to those of you who didn’t enter this year, we hope to hear from you when we launch the Period Living Readers’ Awards 2012 next spring.
