Welcome to The Gateway, an impressive development offering a range of brand new 2,3 & 4 bedroom homes and 2 bedroom apartments exclusively to rent.

The Gateway has something to offer to everyone.

GO GET A HOME FOR LIFE

We pride ourselves on building places you can call your forever home, knowing it won’t be sold from beneath your feet. We offer renters a whole new experience which brings together the best of both worlds – all the perks of a private rental with the added excitement for customers at the start of a development to choose their own plot and watch it being built.

With home ownership becoming unaffordable for some and an unappealing lifestyle choice for others, we meet the need for a high quality home which still feels secure in the long term.

KEEPING LIFE SIMPLE

When you move in, you’ll receive everything to get set up including your guide to being a Simple Life resident. Covering everything from what you can expect from us as your landlord, to simple user manuals to help you get familiar with your new home, start your Simple Life off in the best way.

GO GET A HOME TO BE PROUD OF
