Parkwood Mews, off Old Park Road, got most votes from members of the public.

It is built in a crescent shape similar to the famous Georgian crescents in Bath.

Philip Macer, a director of the builders, Arncliffe Homes, said: "This was a rather special development and we had an unprecedented amount of interest in the eight homes right from the start.

"It is Arncliffe Homes' policy to design and build good quality, traditionally-constructed domestic properties and it was pleasing to be given this vote of public confidence."

The homes in Parkwood Mews cost just under £500,000 and have all been sold.

They stand within Roundhay conservation area and were built on land owned by Arncliffe for 15 years.

They boast four bedrooms, high levels of insulation, double glazing and highly efficient gasfired condensing boilers.

The fully-fitted kitchens have integrated appliances. All the public's votes in the People's Award went into a draw for a £250 cash prize which was won by David Parton, of Altofts, near Wakefield, who works in the Asda warehouse.

He revealed he had voted for Parkwood Mews himself and said: "It wasn't a difficult choice. The design just stood out. Excellent!"
