The site is broadly rectangular in shape and extends to 22.82 acres (9.23 Ha). It is currently undeveloped and is greenfield in nature. The site slopes from north to south which in turn provides developers with an opportunity to capitalise on panoramic views towards the Lake District to the east.
The site is bound by a tree belt to the north, Netherhall Road to the south, farmland to the east and housing to the west. Maryport CoE Primary School is located to the north. Netherhall Rugby Union Club and Netherhall Caravan Club are located to the south of the site and provide an attractive outlook onto mature trees and open green space.
