Where you want to be! The Furlongs | Page 21

From independent shops and restaurants to major supermarkets and the high street stores you’d expect to see in any busy market town, Towcester caters for all tastes. If you’re looking for a place to put down roots for your family, Towcester offers a couple of primary schools and the ‘Outstanding’ Sponne secondary school - all just a short distance from your new home at The Furlongs. Towcester racecourse with its horse racing and greyhound racing is just a stone’s throw away, but if racing is not for you, you can relax (or workout) at Towcester Centre for Leisure. With its state-of-the-art fitness suite, 25m swimming pool and a workout studio offering over 35 classes a week, café and children’s party facilities there’s something for the whole family to get involved in. If getting outside is more your thing, Towcester has a great selection of parks and walkways, and around five miles away you’ll find the Canal Museum next to the Grand Union Canal at Stoke Bruerne. Salcey Forest is a little further afield, with its walking trails, adventure play area, horse riding trail and cycling route there are plenty of ways for the whole family to enjoy the great outdoors. Around eight miles from Northampton and 11 miles away from Milton Keynes, your new home at The Furlongs is perfectly placed for commuters and offers the best of all worlds. And with shared ownership you could make this beautiful market town your home for less than you thought.
