Location
The subject property is situated in English Gate Plaza on Botchergate within Carlisle’s city centre. The street is an established commercial area, being home to hoteliers such as the Ibis and County Hote and bars/public houses such as Wetherspoons, BrewDog and Walkabout. Vue Cinema is also situated in close proximity to the subject property.
Bothchergate is renowned for being Carlisle’s primary bar and nightlife destination and becomes a pedestrianised street over the weekend. As a result of this there is also a number of restaurants, hot food takeaways and convenient stores located on the street as well.
Unit 4a 4b receives good footfall year-round and is 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.
