Housebuilder of the Year

“It is the most prestigious prize in Britain housebuilding, the ultimate new homes accolade, and it goes to Rosemullion Homes – sheer Cornish quality from start to finish.

It is the dream of every small builder to become synonymous with their region of operation, and Rosemullion has achieved that. Not through blind pastiche, not through cheap marketing gimmicks, but by wedding itself to the area, studying its rich and varied architecture, landscape and heritage and injecting the new homes it builds with the spirit of Cornwall. It is very rare to have a submission from a housebuilder which starts with this vision of place and community contribution.

It has indeed created properties of distinctive character in Cornwall. It has the regional accent, but are individual statements too. It is what brand builders die for, and spend fortunes on. Leafing through the Rosemullion portfolio throughout its history is a delight. From Truro to Lostwithiel, Padstow to Mousehole, St Ives to Bodmin Moor, St Austell to St Mawes, it is a delightful mix of the new and the restored, with lovely design touches, but all proudly waving the Cornish flag. There are good-natured arguments with architects before designs are decided, “achieving a scheme that captures the locality’s atmosphere and is unmistakeably Rosemullion”. The company has won Cornwall Business Awards and Investor in People Awards, and its Client Care Charter yields excellent client testimonials, with the quality of the people and the service as important as the product.

It goes without saying that Rosemullion puts an awful lot back into the community. Roger Carson, the founder and managing director, is himself a trustee of Cornwall Care, supporting older people in the county and of the Cornwall Community Land Trust, helping shared ownership. Rosemullion has won awards for sustainability too, including its use of ground source heat pumps. A worthy winner of the industry’s biggest trophy.” Extract from Judges Report, What House? 2008
