Local care home shortlisted for prestigious national award

Barchester Healthcare’s stunning new care home, Highfield, located in Barkston Ash, Tadcaster, has been shortlisted for a Design Healthcare Award in the Best Exterior Design category. The home has been chosen out of hundreds of other entries from across the entire country.

Highfield is a stunning property designed by talented architects, Harris Irwin.

The home opened in May 2024 and offers bespoke person-centred residential, dementia and respite care in delightful surroundings for 66 residents. The primary aim of the design was to create a home that unites beautifully within its surroundings of estate parkland and an adjacent Grade II-listed church.

The building footprint creates an open courtyard space, landscaped in a manner reminiscent of country estate gardens. The design maximises the views of the surrounding rural landscape allowing residents, staff, and visitors to enjoy the outdoors whatever the weather.
