North–south slope offers panoramic Lake District views to the east
Bounded by trees, Netherhall Road, farmland and existing housing

Proximity to Maryport rail station and A596 road links
Tenure unspecified—legal/title verification needed before purchase
Very slow broadband; may need costly connectivity upgrades
Local crime rate above average—consider security and community impacts
A rare, substantial land parcel of approximately 22.82 acres (9.23 ha) on Netherhall Road, Maryport, offered with development potential and panoramic southerly views toward the Lake District. The broadly rectangular greenfield site slopes north to south and is bounded by a tree belt, neighbouring housing and open farmland, creating a mix of sheltered and open aspects. Its coastal town location is served by the A596 and Maryport rail station, placing regional connections within reasonable reach.
The plot’s size and siting make it attractive to developers, investors or agricultural purchasers seeking a large contiguous holding. Nearby community assets include primary and secondary schools, leisure facilities such as the rugby club and caravan club, and mature tree lines that provide amenity value to future schemes. Bids are sought by noon on Wednesday 23 April 2025.
Important practical points are straightforward: the land is currently undeveloped greenfield and will require planning consent and any necessary infrastructure provision; tenure is not specified and should be verified; broadband speeds are reported as very slow; and local crime statistics are above average. Flood risk is low. These factors affect likely costs and timelines for redevelopment and should form part of early due diligence.
For buyers focused on value and scope, this site offers scale, views and good transport links but demands a clear planning strategy and investment in services. The offering suits experienced developers or land investors comfortable managing planning, infrastructure and market timing in a coastal/rural setting.
