Directions
From Exeter city centre proceed along Topsham Road (A3015), through the traffic lights at Barrack Road and at the next set of traffic lights turn right into City Glade. Follow the road around towards Gate Reach where the property can be found on the left.
Situation
Gate Reach enjoys an excellent position on the edge of the city, combining a peaceful setting with superb accessibility. The nearby river is just a short distance away, offering attractive waterside walks and established cycle paths that link easily to the historic quay. Here, a lively mix of cafes, restaurants and independent outlets create a popular destination for both leisure and socialising.
The property is particularly well placed for families, with a range of well regarded primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital is also conveniently close by, making the location especially appealing for healthcare professionals or those seeking proximity to key services.
Transport connections are another strong feature, with swift access to major road networks including the M5 and A30, providing links across the region. Regular public transport services operate nearby, and mainline rail connections from Exeter offer direct routes to London and other major cities, making this an ideal location for both commuting and day to day convenience.
