Overview

About West Corner Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

West Corner Cottage is a semi-detached house in Ainstable, Carlisle, Carlisle (CA4 9QN). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 is 20.6% above the 2022 sale price. Last sale on file: £325,000 in December 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
