WINNER of the RICS 2020 South West Social Impact Awards for Heritage

The judges said

Winford Cottage Hospital is an exemplary restoration project rooted in community. Designed by the noted English architect CFA Voysey, it closed in the 1990s. and a local trust tried to secure its future. When that project stalled it was acquired by the Landmark Trust. The trust has carried out a beautiful restoration, its arts-and-crafts details restored or recreated where lost. One half is a holiday apartment providing the bulk of revenue, and the other half a series of community meeting spaces, workplaces and museum area. This textbook restoration has allowed the Grade II* listed building to continue to serve the community it was built for.
