Scotby Green Steading is an attractive development of two-bedroom flats, bungalows and cottages built around and incorporating a traditional Cumbrian farmhouse and former Quaker House, right in the centre of the village of Scotby, near Carlisle.
Few parts of England can compare with Cumbria for idyllic, beautiful surroundings and a peaceful unhurried lifestyle. The Village of Scotby is quintessential Cumbria with a village green, mature trees and buildings which are all full of charm and character.
In the village itself you will find a general store/post office, hairdressers, public house, sports ground with Pavilion and children’s play area, church, primary school and a thriving village hall with lots of activities regularly happening.
Excellent motorway and road communications give quick and easy access to the historic City of Carlisle only 3 miles away. Hadrian’s Wall, Scotland and of course the beautiful Lake District and Pennines are right on the doorstep.
"As newcomers we find the people more than friendly, it is a pleasure to live here".

Property management and service charges
The original developers of the site were Guardian Housing Association who developed the site in the early 1990s. In 2023 the freehold was purchased by Scotby Green Steading Management Company Limited from Anchor Housing Association. Each property on the estate owns 1/20th of this freehold and has 1 vote within the company. The Directors of the company are elected at the AGM from the owners or immediate family of the owners.
The Company has to manage the common interests of the site including building insurance, window cleaning, cleaning of communal areas, maintenance of the grounds and external buildings maintenance and repair. This is paid for by a service charge on each property, which for the year 2024/5 is £148 per calendar month. The company has appointed Letting Centre Carlisle to manage these tasks.
