This weekend (Saturday 24 January 2015), award-winning developer London Square brought some of London’s finest producers and suppliers together for a day of celebration at the Rainsborough Square Artisan Food Market to mark the opening of the highly anticipated new square. Over 250 members of the local community of Fulham took the opportunity to come and take a look at the square and sample exceptional British and international produce.
London Square has transformed the two-acre site on Farm Lane from a former rundown light industrial trading estate, once used as stables for horse buses and in later days, cabs, to a smart new residential square of 40 townhouses. London Square has also restored the locally listed ornate Edwardian gated arched entrance and railings to make a splendid landmark in Farm Lane.
Over 80 per cent of homes have now been sold at London Square Fulham and the first residents have started to move in. Combining the very best features of the classic London square with first-class specification and the latest trends in contemporary London living, including a concierge and underground parking – the mix of townhouses, green space and pedestrianised square is creating a great community for families and young professionals.
The Kensington, a handsome four bedroom townhouse, is the latest house type to be unveiled at the development. Behind a traditional façade, The Kensington features over 3,025 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over five storeys, including a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family area on the lower ground floor with breakfast bar, dining area and an informal seating area, and a study and living room on ground level. A master bedroom suite occupies the whole of the first floor, bedrooms three and four are on the second floor with a family bathroom and the third floor comprises an expansive second bedroom with en-suite bathroom – perfect for guests or an au pair.
At the heart of the house sits a stunning hardwood staircase with glass balustrades, around which the open plan living space unfolds, with a seamless link between indoor and the generous terraces and garden for al fresco entertaining. The spacious interiors are flooded with natural light, with hardwood floors and clean lines providing a stylish blank canvas.
Excellent specification features throughout The Kensington, with a bespoke Poggenpohl kitchen and Miele appliances, comfort cooling to living areas and bedrooms, underfloor heating and intelligent mood lighting and audio systems by Crestron. Sleek Villeroy & Boch fittings and Hansgrohe brassware have been used in the bathrooms, with a his and hers sink, mother of pearl wall tiles, and a freestanding bath in the stunning master en-suite. The house also has parking for two cars in an underground carpark and private garage.
Rebecca Littler, Sales & Marketing Director of London Square, said: “We are so proud of our new square, which is designed to continue the legacy of the capital, and are delighted that the local community were able to share this important milestone. There has been enormous interest in London Square Fulham and now that the square is open, we expect the final few homes to prove equally popular. The Kensington is one of the last properties available and is ready to move into straightaway.”
Fulham Broadway station is close by and there is a choice of excellent underground, rail and bus links to the heart of the capital and first-class connections to London City Airport, London Heathrow and London Gatwick. The area also boasts a selection of leading private preparatory and secondary schools.
The Kensington will be available to view at an Open House this Saturday 31 January between 11am – 2pm. The Kensington is priced at £4,150,000. To arrange an appointment, please visit www.londonsquare.co.uk or call the London Square Fulham Sales Suite on 0333 666 2737.
