Loving Prebbleton life

Summerset’s fourth Canterbury village, Summerset Prebbleton, offers a secure and low-maintenance lifestyle in a small but vibrant community. Sales Manager Grace Hickland has been with Summerset for five years and has welcomed hundreds of Cantabrians into retirement living. 

“When residents tell you on the down low that they’ve got the best villa in the village, you know you’ve done your job well as it’s the best villa for them.” 

Community is key when it comes to village life. New friendships, new activities, and for some, it provides a whole new lease on life. The community spirit has evolved naturally, with residents happy to put themselves out there and welcome new people into their circles. 

“Our residents have organised their own weekly walking group around Prebbleton’s nature park; we’ve had residents watering their neighbours’ vege gardens if they are away on holiday or dropping them off to the airport. None of our residents knew each other ten months ago, and now many of them have buddied up like they have been friends their whole life,” Grace says. 

Summerset homes are modern and bright and offer spacious open-plan living, designed with everything you could need for the perfect retirement lifestyle with the assurance of additional care options in the future if required. 

“With Prebbleton, we’re quite lucky with our land size; it has allowed us to create more open space in between our villas. So, you can have a really lovely outlook and not feel boxed in,” Grace says. 

A range of two and three-bedroom homes are available on the border of the village along Springs Road. If you’re interested in finding out more about the village, Grace invites you to give her a call on 03 353 6312.
