50 Dalton Road, Barrow-In-Furness, Cumbria, LA14 1JB

LOCATION

The property is situated on the south side of Dalton Road, close to its junction with Church Street, in the town centre of Barrow-in-Furness, which is in South Cumbria and the North West of England.

Barrow-in-Furness is the principal town of South Cumbria and is situated on the coast of the southern county boundary, bordered to the southeast by Morecambe Bay, the Irish Sea to the west and the Duddon Channel to the north. Barrow is connected by the A590 which leads to Junction 36 of the M6 motorway some 30 miles east providing links to the north and south.

The town has a resident population of 69,100 (2011 Census) and whilst it is very much known for its industrial and shipbuilding heritage, it lies just 12 miles south of The Lake District National Park. The town has a weighted retail catchment in excess of 70,000 people and a greater district catchment in excess of 108,000 being one of South Cumbria's main retail destinations. Barrow has benefited from substantial inward investment in recent years to improve the Port and Marina facilities and the waterfront in general. Major employers include BAE Systems, Siemens and Kimberley Clark.

Dalton Road is one of the main retailing areas in the town centre and the subject property is opposite Barrow Market which is part of the £17.5m regeneration scheme with works commencing in the Summer of 2024. The bottom end of Portland Walk, which provides prime retailing is a short distance to the west and BAE Systems have purchased part of the scheme, formerly occupied by Debenhams, WH Smith and The Body Shop and is redeveloping the buildings to create an educational and training hub for new recruits and recent graduates, also offering an interactive submarine experience and the role Barrow has in the UK's defence industry. Work has already begun on Phase I, developing a multi-agency recruitment office and this will attract trainees from all over the UK and the scheme will increase footfall around the town centre.
