Skiddaw Service Station is currently an operational vehicle garage and repair workshop set on a rectangular shaped 0.27 acre site with dual access points from the A591. The owner is RAC approved garage accredited and has owned and ran the garage for over 15 years.
The large workshop built on the site is a two-storey building of steel portal frame construction with stone block infill walls construction, featuring a number of pitched felted roofs and expansive glass frontages and access doors along the front elevations.
Internally, the workshop comprises a largely open-plan, single-storey space with an internal ceiling height of approximately 3.15 metres. Some internal offices have been created to the left side. Internally, there is access to a small first floor, which provides a studio room for staff accommodation.
Externally, the building benefits from a generous forecourt parking area to the front and full perimeter access including additional parking to the rear left corner.
The county of Cumbria is in the north-west of England and benefits from a coastline to the west and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Lake District National Park around the centre.
Bassenthwaite is a picturesque village close to the northern fells and Skiddaw and is positioned between the A595 trunk road linking Carlisle with west cumbria, and Keswick which is one of the largest and main towns in the Lake District, drawing in visitors throughout the year. Whilst some of the Lake District towns are only bustling during the summer months, Keswick's sectors tend to trade well most of the year. For this reason, traffic numbers along the road are high and daily passing vehicles are regular.
Skiddaw Service Station is a prominently positioned roadside site on the A591, which is the primary road linking the A595 with Keswick. The position sits immediately opposite Traffords Caravan Site. The location and site area is shown on the plans adjacent and overleaf.
