The vision for this project is to create a pioneering lifestyle village specifically designed for retirees aged 55 and above. This unique development sets itself apart by offering freehold allotments, allowing owners to retain property value while enjoying the collective advantages of village living. These advantages include enhanced safety, a strong sense of community, high quality, and low maintenance living environments.

The village is designed to be a hub of activity, with spaces that cater to health and wellbeing, hobbies, and social gatherings. From yoga classes and gym sessions to arts, crafts, and family events, the clubhouse and communal areas are envisioned as bustling centers of community life. Options for a small cinema or pool room are also being considered, adding to the diverse offerings that enrich residents' lifestyles.

This masterplan represents a forward-thinking approach to retirement living, blending ownership benefits with community living's social and practical advantages. It aims to create a setting where retirees can enjoy a vibrant, active, and fulfilling lifestyle in a beautifully designed, secure environment.
