The Mid-Year Residential Scheme finalists have been revealed for the ProCon Leicestershire 2026 property and construction awards
A new home built on a farm is in the running for the Medium Residential Scheme category at the 2026 ProCon Leicestershire property and construction awards.
Three rural developments in the county’s villages are finalists in this award, sponsored by Fusion 360 Group and one of seven in this year’s 23rd ProCon Leicestershire Awards.
The finalists for Medium Residential Scheme of the Year are:
Oakmount Drive, Medbourne, delivered by Langton Homes
Oakmount Drive is a development of three detached family homes in a gateway position on the edge of Medbourne. The scheme transforms a site previously occupied by a 1980s house and redundant barn.
The decision was taken to prioritize quality over quantity, delivering three individually designed houses on a large plot. The result is a low-density development with extensive south-facing gardens.
The contemporary architecture of the scheme combines natural stone, wooden cladding, aluminum details and expansive glazing. Inside, there is a bespoke oak staircase, designer kitchen and microcement bathroom.

A traditional farmstead and dairy, Brook Farm now hosts a collection of four new contemporary homes influenced by the shape, footprint and materials of used farm barns.
The barn type, exterior dimensions, height and mass are in keeping with the old buildings, including the restored Dutch barn. The tops of the brick and steel barns were raised to accommodate the floor height.
The development provides an opportunity to almost recreate how the original farmstead would have looked when it was first built.

Situated on a former agricultural site in the heart of the village, six individually designed houses link the historic character of Congerstone with a thriving residential neighbourhood.
The design team created a home that reflects Congerstone’s traditional farming vernacular through carefully selected materials, traditional brick detailing, slate roofs and sensitive proportions.
Future homeowners are actively involved in shaping their homes, with internal layouts and finishes developed through extensive consultation. Four of the six homes were sold before completion.
