I've always thought that Carlisle seemed a decent place and what a spot to be in for travelling to many of the best roads. I went out on the piss there once but i was too pissed to really take in what kind of place it was.Whenever i get to Carlisle i feel like im pretty much in Scotland and i think as a border dwelling theres a right mixture there regarding identity.
I've driven around allot of nice roads between carlisle and north yorks from being based at Catterick.....never quite knew where i was but the roads are stunning.
I've never been north west of carlisle to Dumfries or to Stranraer either and looking on google Earth it looks a nice area to explore.
The roads off to Edinburgh...particularly the A701 is a fantastic road.
Then of course the Lake district which you know so well.
Sounds like a good idea because like you say it is more affordable so a better quality of life and less rat race will be on offer.
Hmm i havent actually helped.........Bump!

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
