About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in CARLISLE, CA5 6JB. The property offers 111m² (1195 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. 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 A rating (100/100). 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £833, comprising £615 for heating, £152 for hot water, and £66 for lighting. The property produces 0.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
