Tudor lifestyle

By Kath Gannaway
NESTLED on the rim of the beautiful Yarra Valley, Tudor Village Lilydale offers a superb balance of urban facilities and rural retreats.
Within easy access of busy Lilydale, the relaxing tranquillity at Tudor Village Lilydale sits comfortably against our backdrop of the Dandenong Ranges.
To meet the increasing demand for quality retirement accommodation in the valley region, Tudor Village is expanding with the construction of an additional 30 new units.
They are proving to be very popular and are selling fast.
Village owner Pinnacle Living Pty Ltd, a developer of quality retirement villages in other areas of Victoria, has created three new Tudor style units with the flagship ‘Grange’ style featuring double car garages and three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms plus a separate powder room.
All units are air conditioned, have rain water tanks and enjoy a 5-plus star energy rating.
Pinnacle representatives say purchasers who buy early – or off-the-plan – can achieve substantial stamp duty savings.
Work is well under way and the first of the new units will be ready for occupation in September this year.
Other facilities include a community centre, heated indoor pool and spa, library with broadband internet access, courtesy bus and an all weather surface competition size bowling rink and free caravan and boat storage.
Doctors are on site every week and other professional services such as physiotherapy, podiatry and hydrotherapy are also provided along with a hairdressing salon.
Qualified staff provide a 24 hour emergency response service and the Village is regularly patrolled by a security company.
There is a very active residents’ association and social club and the dedicated health and activity coordinator ensures residents are offered participation in a wide range of activities like arts and craft groups, dancing and exercise, gardening, bowls, cards, snooker and billiards and many more.
