The couple were said to be "shocked" and "thrilled" at the accolade.
"We were especially delighted to receive the reader's choice which is voted for by the public as its lovely to know that other people like what we have built," they said.
The awards mean a lot to the pair as they feel it is well deserved recognition for the incredibly hard-working teams who helped bring their vision to fruition, said Mr Greene.
"Redgate House and the awards are a testament to their skills, craftsmanship, dedication, and workmanship," he said.
"They all carried on through the tricky Covid lockdowns and were a joy to have involved.
"Hopefully the awards are also a wonderful celebration of Herefordshire design, businesses, manufacturing, innovation, craftsmanship and products and can showcase what the talented Herefordshire housing industry does so well.
"Winning these awards means a great deal to Patsy and I - we love our home very much and to know that the judges felt the same is fantastic."
