An exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-located commercial development site extending to approximately 3
acres, situated on the west coast of Cumbria in the established and increasingly sought-after market town of
Workington. The site occupies a strategic position on the edge of the Lake District National Park and within close
proximity to the Solway Coast, offering an attractive balance between commercial practicality and high-quality
natural surroundings.
The Opportunity
With outline planning permission approved and full planning permission currently under consideration, the site is offered as a flexible development opportunity suitable for a range of investors, developers, and commercial occupiers. This represents a rare chance to secure development land in a proven commercial location with strong
long-term growth potential. The site is available to the market in two distinct formats, allowing purchasers to select the option best suited to their development strategy:
Whole Site Acquisition
The site is available as a single freehold acquisition, price on application. This option is offered with the benefit of planning permission only. Estate infrastructure is not included within the whole-site sale, providing purchasers with full flexibility over servicing, phasing, and build-out strategy.
Individual Serviced Plots
Alternatively, the site is available as individual serviced development plots. Under this option, all estate infrastructure will be delivered by the site owner, including internal access roads, drainage, and estate lighting. This significantly reduces development risk and upfront infrastructure costs for purchasers. Individual plots are competitively priced and available by private treaty, with further details provided upon request.
Services
Individual serviced plots will benefit from estate infrastructure delivered by the site owner, including internal estate roads, drainage infrastructure, and estate lighting. Utility connections, including electricity, water, foul and surface water drainage, and gas where available, are subject to individual plot specification and purchaser requirements.
Location
Workington is a well-established market town on the west coast of Cumbria and is widely recognised as a desirable location for commercial and industrial development. The town benefits from excellent road connectivity, proximity to key regional employment centres, access to a skilled local labour force, and an established industrial and commercial base. Its position on the edge of the Lake District National Park further enhances its appeal to occupiers and investors seeking long-term growth within a proven commercial environment.
