Location
The subject property is located in the Kingstown area of Carlisle approximately 0.5 miles from access to the M6 at Junction 44. The premises occupy a prominent roadside site with direct frontage to the main A7 being situated opposite Kingstown Industrial Estate – the principal industrial and business location in the region as well as adjacent to a variety of both new and established housing estates. Carlisle city centre is located 2 miles south of the property. The surrounding area is extremely popular and busy and includes a selection of retail parks, supermarkets and drive-thru sites. Prime opportunities of this nature are limited in Carlisle due to a lack of commercial roadside sites.
