The Furlongs @ Towcester Grange

The Furlongs @ Towcester Grange is a large-scale new build development by Persimmon Homes, situated off Epsom Avenue in the historic market town of Towcester, Northamptonshire (NN12 7LD). This multi-phase project is designed to integrate new residential housing with significant community infrastructure, contributing to the expansion of Towcester Grange.

Development Overview

The Furlongs offers a wide selection of new build homes, spanning 1-bedroom apartments and a variety of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom houses, including end-terraced, mid-terraced, semi-detached, and detached styles. Pricing for available properties currently ranges from the initial price point of approximately £185,000 for a 1-bedroom apartment up to £499,950 for larger family homes. Specific units available include the 2-bedroom 'Ithon,' 3-bedroom types like 'The Hartwell' and 'The Silverstone' (often featuring French doors and two bathrooms), and 4-bedroom detached properties such as 'The Blakesley Corner.'

Property Details and Sustainability

Each new home at The Furlongs is an energy-efficient modern build, incorporating features designed to reduce running costs and environmental impact. Standard features include EV charging points, solar panels, and waste water heat recovery systems. The development is designed with integrated green open spaces, play areas, and tree-lined streets. As a multi-phase site, the developer currently operates two Sales Offices, with Phase 10 scheduled to launch soon, indicating an ongoing construction status.

Location and Connectivity

Towcester is highly regarded for its central location and strong transport links. The development is positioned near the A43 bypass, which offers direct and convenient connections to the M40 and M1 motorways, simplifying commuting to key cities like London and Birmingham. For rail commuters, Milton Keynes Central station provides fast services to London Euston in just over half an hour, while Northampton station also offers rail access. Regular local bus services connect the development to both Northampton and Milton Keynes, and the new Towcester bypass is currently under construction, which is expected to further enhance local travel times.

Local Amenities and Community Infrastructure

Existing amenities in Towcester town centre, approximately one mile from the development, include Waitrose, Tesco, and Aldi supermarkets, a range of independent shops (delicatessens, butchers), and the Towcester Centre for Leisure, which features a swimming pool. For leisure, the world-famous Silverstone Circuit is located only 5 miles away. The Towcester Grange masterplan includes significant future on-site community provisions: two new primary schools, a nursery/crèche, a community hall, a doctors’ surgery, retail units, and a public house/restaurant. The site is also planned to include sports pitches and new allotments.
