Development: Langley Gate

Langley Gate

Set in a quiet residential neighbourhood 500 yards from York’s outer ring road, convenient for travel around the city as well as further afield, Langley Gate also benefits from easy access to quiet cycle routes and footpaths. Fifteen minutes’ walk away, National Cycle Route 65 provides a peaceful path to York city centre via Rawcliffe Ings, alongside delightful parks and into the Museum Gardens. Local bus services link the development with the city centre and York railway station, while Poppleton station, ten minutes’ walk away, is a stop on the York to Leeds line. The varied, cosmopolitan cultural life and attractions of York city centre are just five minutes away by train. 

Four hundred yards away there is a 24- hour M&S Food store. More local shops and takeaways, including pharmacies and a post office, can be found within walking distance, and a large precinct at Acomb, a mile and a half away, presents a comprehensive choice of shops and services. Leisure amenities include two gyms within half a mile of Langley Gate. Lavender Grove Surgery, the closest of several nearby medical centres, is complemented by a wide choice of dental practices. Muddy Boots Nursery, just across the road, takes children from six weeks to five years old, and the development is in the catchment area for Poppleton Ousebank Primary School, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, and for York High School. In addition, the nearby Manor Academy, a Church of England secondary school, holds an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating.
