Features and description
The site is a roadside car sales depot, forecourt and diesel filling station with two active diesel pumps.
The forecourt benefits from a large canopy and two operational diesel pumps. Depending on vehicle sizes, parking for 12-14 vehicles is provided, as well as a further 4 spaces positioned slightly north and detached from the site.
The sales office and staff offices are well fitted out and benefit from recent modernisation, kitchen area and WCs. A roller shutter with ramp provides access to a store area.
Location
Wigton is a market town in North Cumbria, situated approximately 9 miles southwest of Carlisle, 20 miles northwest of Penrith and 22 miles northeast of Workington. It has a resident population of roughly 6,000, which expands to over 15,000 when including the surrounding catchments.
The market town serves as a service hub for the predominantly agricultural area. While agriculture has long played a significant role, the town's leading employer for many years - and continuing today - is Futamura factory, a manufacturer of packaging and speciality films and is located adjacent to the subject premises. Other long-established operators within Wigton include Hopes, Lidl, B&M, and Co-op.
The Filling Station sits in a prominent position, next to Futamura Factory and close to Wigton Train Station. Station Road leads directly into King Street in the town centre.
