About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in CARLISLE, CA4 0HJ. The property offers 120m² (1292 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £2188, comprising £1552 for heating, £524 for hot water, and £112 for lighting. The property produces 9.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2025 for £270,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
