Location

Carlisle is the only city in the county of Cumbria which sits in the northwest of England and is approximately 10 miles south of the Scottish town of Gretna, which is on the Scottish border. The city is well connected to the rest of the UK via the M6 motorway at Junctions 44,43 and 42 and via the M74/A74 towards Scotland.

The subject premises sits on Botchergate. This location was once a popular leisure venue for the city centre following the build-out of the English Gate Plaza complex in the early 2000's. Due to a shift in consumer habits, Botchergate is now not as strong as it once was. The building sits within walking distance of Carlisle Train Station.

Nearby occupiers include Cumberland Council, Vue Cinema, Ibis Hotel, jd Wetherspoon, Game On and various independent retailers including hot food takeaways, barber shops and a range of small-scale convenience stores. Some upper-floor residential flats and studios are also positioned in close proximity.
