98 | Show villa gets Greytown underway Karen Phelps “Since Covid-19 the retirement sector has had a huge boost as loneliness was a real factor for many people during the lockdowns. This has meant people have been seeking the community and safety of a retirement village.” to page 100 Greytown Orchards LIFESTYLE Greytown Orchards lifestyle retirement village has just opened a show villa, which has proved “incredibly popular”, says Greytown Orchards director Craig Percy. Already Stage 1a of the development, comprising 14 villas, has sold out and Stage 1b of 18 villas is nearing sell out status. “Since Covid-19 the retirement sector has had a huge boost as loneliness was a real factor for many people during the lockdowns. This has meant people have been seeking the community and safety of a retirement village. And there is nothing like the quality, style and layout being offered at Greytown Orchards in the wider Wellington region” The 123sqm show villa offers open plan living, two bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and a large single garage. The design, as with the overall design of the project, pays homage to the Victorian era villas the town is renown for. The show villa boasts weatherboard cladding, a long run metal roof and covered patios. High 2.7m studs, as are standard on most of the villas, add to the spacious feel. Inside luxury details such as stone benchtops, tiled bathrooms, quality wool carpets and a fireplace bring a modern feel to the home. Purchasers have the choice of three neutral colour palettes, which provides the perfect backdrop for whatever furniture and furnishings they choose to bring into their villa when they set up home.
