Description

Set in a highly sought after waterside position on the edge of Exeter’s historic Ship Canal, No.52 River Meadow enjoys an elevated ground floor setting with far reaching views across the canal and nearby riverside landscape. Just a short stroll away lies Exeter’s vibrant Quayside, with its array of independent cafes, restaurants and waterside walks, while the city centre and Cathedral are also within easy reach, offering excellent shopping, transport links and cultural attractions. The location perfectly combines peaceful waterside living with the convenience of city life close at hand.

The apartment itself is beautifully presented and has been thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners, benefitting from a modern fitted kitchen and upgraded bathroom, along with the added advantage of gas connected to the property, something many neighbouring apartments do not enjoy. The accommodation flows well, with a bright open plan living space designed to take full advantage of the outlook, creating a warm and welcoming feel throughout. There are two well proportioned double bedrooms.

One of the standout features of this apartment is the superb private terrace, elevated above the canal and offering a wonderful space to sit out, relax and enjoy the picturesque waterside views. It is a real extension of the living accommodation and a feature that truly sets the property apart from many others in the development.

The property also benefits from a shared double garage, providing half of the space for secure storage or parking, along with plentiful on street parking nearby.

River Meadow presents a fantastic opportunity to enjoy some of Exeter’s most desirable apartment living, close to the quay and walking distance into town.

EXETER is the cathedral city and capital city of Devon. The city is on the River Exe about 37 miles (60 km) northeast of Plymouth and 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Bristol.

 

Exeter was the most south-westerly Roman fortified settlement in Britain. Exeter Cathedral was founded in the mid-11th century. During the late 19th century, Exeter became an affluent centre for the wool trade. After the Second World War, much of the city centre was rebuilt and is now considered to be a centre for modern business and tourism in Devon and Cornwall. Famed for its world class University.

About Helmores, Crediton

111-112 High Street, Crediton, Devon, EX17 3LF
Industry affiliations:

Most people thinking about selling have the same three worries: how long will it take, will I get a good price, and how stressful is it going to be? Everything we do is built around those three things.

Getting the best price starts with how your property is presented and who sees it first. Every Helmores property gets professional photography, cinematic property film, interactive digital tours, and premium Rightmove placement as standard. For the right properties, we add aerial footage from our qualified drone pilots and a feature in our printed lifestyle magazine. Better presentation creates more interest. More interest creates competitive tension. Competitive tension gets better offers. In 2025, our vendors achieved 98.7% of asking price on average, compared to a national average of around 96%.

You also get your own login to our app, where you can see exactly what we're doing: every viewing booked, every piece of feedback, every offer, all your documents in one place. No chasing us for updates. No wondering what's happening. You can see it for yourself, in real time.

The part most agents don't talk about is what happens after you accept an offer. Nationally, around 30% of agreed sales fall through before completion. Ours is 14%. The difference is dedicated in-house sales progressors who manage every sale from offer to keys. They chase solicitors, coordinate surveys, and solve problems before they become deal-breakers. We also qualify every buyer before solicitors are instructed: identity, proof of funds, mortgage decision. You're not three months into a sale before discovering the buyer can't proceed.

We've been selling homes in Crediton and Mid Devon since 1699. If you're even starting to think about it, we're happy to have an honest conversation. No obligation. No follow-up calls you didn't ask for.
