Badby Park beat two other finalists in the category of Best Restoration & Extension at a special ceremony at Lords Cricket Ground on March 25th, 2010.

Special Commendation for Badby Park
Badby Park won a special commendation at Healthinvestor Awards in May 2010, in the category of the Healthcare Property of the Year. The Award, which recognised excellence in the design of physical environment was judged by a panel made up prominent individuals within the healthcare sector, headed by Lord Darzi, the former health minister. Set within a 50 acre estate on the edge of the town of Daventry in Northants, a modern accommodation wing sits attached to a beautiful ½ acre walled garden and a restored country house. The result is the efficiency of a 21st century care environment combined with the charms of a historic building, which includes a large therapy room with tall ornate ceilings and French doors overlooking the rolling hills of south Northamptonshire.
