Georgian
Group Awards 2006
Restoration of a Georgian Building in
an urban setting - November 2nd 2006
All Seasons were
invited to enter for this award by the Georgian Group and were delighted to
receive a commendation from HRH Duke of Kent. The restoration of 140 -
142 Eastgate and its rapid transformation from a derelict driving test centre
into the East Midlands Self Catering Holiday of the Year in just 3 years were
applauded by the sponsors, Savills and the judges. The judges included
amongst others the Chairs of Christie's UK Charles Cator and Lady Nutting OBE
of the Georgian Group, The Vice-President of Conde Nast International Mr
Nicholas Coleridge and the director of country property at Savills Mr Crispin
Holborow.
The Georgian
building in an urban category had a number of entries from around the UK
(including Westgate House , also in Louth) and was eventually whittled down to
just two finalists Adrian and Amanda Budd at All Seasons, Louth and the
eventual winners, Bath City Council for their restoration of The Cross Bath in
Bath.
Introducing
the awards, the President of the Georgian Group, Lord Crathorne was
complimentary not only of the restoration work of All Seasons but also of the
town of Louth. He and the judges were most impressed that Louth was the
only town to submit not one but two entries into the awards. Lord Crathorne
commented on what a fine Georgian town Louth is reminding a packed audience of
dignitaries, clients and architects of Rick Steins comments that Louth was
indeed "one of the finest little market towns in Britain".
On presenting
the award HRH Duke of Kent congratulated us and said how impressed he
was with the quality of the work we had done. He was particularly impressed
that we had found a use for the property for holidays and also that we had
converted part of the property as our family home.
