LOCATION

The subject property is situated in English Gate Plaza within Carlisle’s city centre. The Plaza is an established commercial area, being home to The Ibis Hotel, Walkabout, Game On and Snap Fitness, in addition to a significant office pitch in English Gate Plaza which boats national occupiers. Vue Cinema is also situated in close proximity to the subject property.

In addition to the above, the immediate area surrounding the subject property has a mix of other commercial uses such as restaurants, convenient stores, bars and nightclubs and as a result is very much a mixed commercial area.

Unit 8B receives good footfall year-round from the other commercial uses in close proximity to the subject property, and benefits from English Gate Plaza Car Park directly outside of the property. The property is also in close proximity to the proposed Carlisle Citadels project, which will create a new landmark campus in the centre of the city by 2026, resulting in further footfall within the city centre.

The City of Carlisle has a residential population of 75,000, a wider city population of around 108,000. Carlisle has a further estimated catchment population of 235,000 and benefits from Carlisle Train Station which is 100 metres opposite the subject property. As well as being the dominant shopping location, it is also the administrative centre in Cumbria and the Borders.

DESCRIPTION
