Is a home in Carlisle likely to be in a conservation area?

About as likely as anywhere: about 7.3% of homes in Carlisle are in a conservation area, compared with 8.9% across Cumberland and 2.4% in the typical area of England and Wales.

In a conservation area you usually need planning permission for work that would be allowed elsewhere, such as cladding, side extensions, some roof changes and demolishing most buildings, and you must give the council six weeks' notice before cutting back or felling most trees. Some areas have extra Article 4 rules, for example on replacing windows or doors. Check with the council before you buy.
