About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in CARLISLE, CA6 5FA. The property offers 62m² (667 sq ft) of modest-sized living space. The property holds an EPC rating of C (74/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (92/100).

The property last sold in July 2023 for £133,995.
