LOCATION
The property is located in the Historic Quarter of Carlisle within 150m of Carlisle Castle, opposite Tullie House Museum and close to Carlisle Cathedral, and also within walking distance to the retail heart of the city centre and mainline train station.
Carlisle lies close to the Scottish Border and adjacent to Junctions 42, 43 and 44 of the M6 motorway network. It is also on the main west coast Glasgow to London Euston rail line and has good access east to Newcastle, including Newcastle airport, along the A69 trunk road.
The City of Carlisle has a residential population of around 75,000, a wider city population of around 108,000 and an estimated catchment population of 235,000. As well as being the dominant shopping location, it is also the administrative centre in Cumbria and the Borders.
The building is prominently located being visible from Castle Way located at the northern end Castle Street in a mixed commercial and increasingly residential location.
The attached location plan shows the location of the premises (for identification purposes only).
DESCRIPTION
3 Castle Street was until most recently occupied by Castles and Coasts Housing Association for office purposes and is now surplus to requirements following the development of their new headquarter premises nearby.
The original part of the building is Listed over three floors, plus a cellar, and dates to the early 1800s. Understood to have been designed for George Gill Mounsey as a residence, it comprises an attractive traditional sandstone building, with a slate roof and brick chimney stacks.
The building retains many original characteristics such as high ceilings, moulded plaster ceiling cornices, moulded door casings, cupboards, painted stone fire surrounds, large sash windows and a substantial stone staircase with patterned cast-iron balusters and moulded wooden handrail.
The accommodation currently provides a ground floor lobby, reception, kitchen point, toilet facilities and access to the rear car park, plus a mixture of well-presented open plan and cellular offices across three floors. On the first floor there are male & female WC's and a kitchen / staff room.
The more recent rear extension provides further open plan and private individual offices, all of which is served by gas fired central heating, Cat II box lighting, perimeter trunking, carpet tiled floors and plaster and painted walls.
Externally, the secure car park can accommodate up to 8 car parking spaces.
ACCOMMODATION
The property provides the following approximate net internal areas:
Ground Floor 147.9 sq m (1,592 sq ft)
First Floor 160 sq m (1,722 sq ft)
Second Floor 63.6 sq m (685 sq ft)
Total approximate Net Internal Area: 371.5 sq m (3,999 sq ft)
OPPORTUNITY
The property offers an exciting opportunity for continued headquarter office use given the convenient city centre location and added benefit of onsite parking.
