About Violet Bank
Violet Bank is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Armathwaite, Carlisle, Carlisle (CA4 9PL). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 is 25% above the 2006 sale price.
