Take the opportunity to view and you’ll soon see why Phase One of this beautiful development sold out prior to

completion. Phase Two, comprising eight spacious townhouses, is now open for viewings. Our show home gives

a glimpse of what life at The Furlong Collection can offer, while our first residents are already adding their own

personalities to their new homes and gardens.

Each townhouse has its own private garden and secure parking,

with access directly from its own lock-up garage into

the respective property.

The floorplans take full advantage of the space, offering

three bedrooms with beautifully appointed ensuites,

an office/gym (or guest room), that also has its own

ensuite, and a powder room. The development is

accessed through two secure pedestrian entrances,

and the complex is well lit from dusk with discreetly

placed, timed lighting.

This document features floorplans and inclusion specifications for the eight townhouses offered in Phase Two, as

well as information about the surrounding area, schools and transport links.

THE LOCAL AREA

HISTORY

In the 1700’s John Wiblin, owner of the aptly named White Horse Pub (now The Vine), began a horse race in the area. A small alley led race-goers from the pub across College Lane and into the fields beyond, where the ‘Green Street Races’ were held.

Little Green Street, off Highgate Road in Kentish Town, is one of a handful of Georgian streets in London that remain intact. Most of the dozen houses, built in the 1780s, are Grade II listed. They survived the Blitz and, perhaps more impressively, over two centuries of children raised in this narrow, cobbled terrace.

Some of the two-storey houses are bow fronted. Formerly shops, they sold ribbons and coffee (luxury products at the time) and are a reminder of our Georgian past. These are rare treasures, because much of Kentish Town’s history, including the now underground River Fleet, was swallowed up by the industrial revolution.

Highgate Road also has a rich past. Until the mid-19th century it was known as Green Street as it led past Kentish Town’s village green. Since 1700 it has provided fast access into London for commuters and shoppers alike and, before that, it was an ancient track that had long provided country traders

with access to the Capital’s riches.

FAMILY RECREATION

For families within Kentish Town, the area has a lot to offer. If you have ever been on the Overground and noticed horses near Gospel Oak station, you will have had a sneak peek at Kentish Town City Farm.

Tucked in and around the railway, a treasure trove of wildlife unfolds as you explore. Children are at the heart of the farm, with a range of weekend workshops, an under-fives activity room and a dedicated team of local young volunteers. Open seven days a week, it provides a great place to while away the hours.

Open all year, Parliament Hill Lido is an Art Deco outdoor, unheated pool, with paddling pool for under-fives, plus hot showers. Families love the sense of freedom that swimming in the open air brings – a completely different experience from the indoor pools they’ll be used to, and you’ll be transported back to a simpler time with good old fashioned outdoor fun.

Treetops, located within the local Talacre Community Sports Centre, is a magical, multi-layered soft play centre for children offering a colourful, exciting, entertaining and educational space. Designed with safety in mind, but for maximum enjoyment.

LEISURE TIME

The surrounding locality offers an eclectic mix of activities, from strolling to Hampstead Heath, exercising at the local leisure centre and assorted fitness centres, or dining out at one of the nearby pubs or restaurants.

For live entertainment, you are spoilt for choice - from fringe theatre at The Lion and Unicorn in Gaisford Street to rock music at Forum in Highgate Road and Sunday night poetry readings at the Torriano Meeting House in Torriano Avenue. Just around the corner, you’ll find The Vine. This popular public house hosts live comedy and quiz nights, or maybe you’d rather sip a drink in its leafy outdoor area and watch the world wander by.

Kentish Town’s arty reputation is well established and has attracted several more influential galleries in recent years. Annroy in Grafton Road is the gallery of the famous portrait and fashion photographer Rankin; The Beardsmore is a stunning modern art venue on Prince of Wales Road; while The Zabludowicz Collection a few doors down, is an installation-based art gallery that is set within a former Methodist chapel.

The healthy life is easy to achieve in Kentish Town, with options for everyone on the doorstep. The Talacre Community Sports Centre is a major fitness hub, with a range of activities for children and adults including gymnastics, badminton, volleyball, basketball, indoor 5-a side football, outside 7-a side football and table tennis.

If swimming is more your thing the fully restored Kentish Town Baths are a short walk away. These Victorian baths in Prince of Wales Road have recently had a £25 million restoration. More hardy swimmers can pound through the lengths outdoors allyear round at the Parliament Hill Lido or enjoy wild swimming among the ducks at the women’s, men’s or mixed ponds on Hampstead Heath.

THE LOCAL AREA

SHOPPING

Kentish Town has a wide variety of shops and markets to accommodate many types of cuisine. There are several large supermarket chains in the area. The Pure Meat Co. is an excellent butcher and fishmongers, and the staff at Oddbins are very helpful when it comes to choosing a wine. Of course, you can easily slip to a nearby corner shop for last-minute necessities.

Organic food enthusiasts are well catered for at Bumblebee Natural Foods on Brecknock Road. For organic groceries head to Earth Natural Foods, based in Kentish Town Road or slightly further afield you can visit Whole Foods Market at 49 Parkway, a US chain offering a good range of organic foods, including a deli with ready-made food to go.

Whether you’re looking for bargains or gourmet ingredients, London street markets cater to all tastes. With a long history and a waterside location, Camden Town is an eclectic, busy neighbourhood dominated by the Camden Market where you can buy a huge range of art, alternative fashion, leather goods, food and home wares.

Each Sunday, Kentish Town hosts a fully-fledged farmers’ market at Kentish Town CoE School in Islip Street. The venture is run by City & Country Farmers’ Markets, a small, family-run business that also puts on a raft of established events across London, from Stepney to Hammersmith and Alexandra Palace.

Parliament Hill opened in September 2008, and has gone from strength to strength. It has one of the most scenic locations of all local markets, just on the edge of Hampstead Heath, with joggers and dog-walkers blending in with the die-hard customers doing their weekly shop.
