Summary - Land at Gilford Park, Carlisle, Cumbria, CA1 2RW CA1 3AF
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Large city-edge plot with clear commercial potential and strong transport links.
9.55 acres (3.86 ha) freehold land parcel
A substantial freehold parcel of land on the edge of Carlisle, Gilford Park offers a rare 9.55-acre canvas for commercial development. The site sits between the mainline railway and the River Petteril, with good road connections — Junction 42 of the M6 is about 2.3 miles away and Carlisle city centre roughly 2.4 miles. Existing neighbours include retail and service operators and Carlisle City Football Club, giving the location clear commercial context.
The land is a mix of brownfield and greenfield, reached from Petteril Bank Road via a tarmacked track. Its shape narrows along the western boundary and opens into a larger northern section, making it suitable for a range of uses subject to planning. For investors or developers seeking a large, well‑located plot, the site offers logistics advantages and scope for phased schemes.
Important constraints are practical and regulatory. The site will require all necessary consents for commercial use; no permissions are guaranteed. Broadband speeds are slow and the recorded local crime level is above average. The northern boundary adjoins a railway and the River Petteril runs along the eastern edge, which will affect layout, access planning and potential mitigation costs.
Offered freehold with a guide price of £250,000, the land represents a competitively priced development opportunity in a city-edge setting. Prospective buyers should allow for planning, infrastructure connections and site preparation budgets, and should carry out their own surveys and due diligence before committing.
