LOCATION

English Street is Carlisle’s prime retail location boasting national occupiers such as Marks & Spencer, House of Fraser, Boots, Primark, Go Outdoors, WHSmith, NatWest, Barclays and HSBC. The pedestrianised high street receives good footfall year-round and leads onto Scotch Street, which again is predominantly occupied by national retailers such as Sports Direct, River Island and Waterstones, making the area very much the city’s premier retail destination.

63 English Street is situated to the southern section of English Street next to Newcastle Building Society. The subject property 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.

Carlisle has a further estimated catchment population of 235,000 and benefits from Carlisle Train Station which is approximately 0.1 miles to the south of the subject property. As well as being the dominant shopping location, it is also the administrative centre in Cumbria and the Borders.
