Your pets are family – and they’re welcome here. Every Simple Life neighbourhood has a pet allowance, and our online pet application makes it straightforward to get them settled in. Already a resident and thinking about adopting? Get in touch with us first and we’ll talk you through it.
Design
Our neighbourhoods are designed to feel like they belong – a considered mix of render and brick that adds character and complements the surroundings. Inside, modern fixtures, integrated appliances, and quality carpets give you a contemporary home that’s ready to make your own.
Events
Home doesn’t stop at your front door. Across our neighbourhoods, we run a full calendar of events – from regional festivals and live music to workshops, outdoor cinema, and big days out. Simple Fest, Simple Life Sounds, Big Bakes, wreath making, pottery, Day trips – there’s always something on.
And at Christmas, Simple Express brings Santa and his team directly to your neighbourhood in a bespoke train. Because the little moments are what make somewhere feel like home.

Simple Life neighbourhoods are part of something bigger. We invest in the communities around us – supporting local education, charities, sports teams, and sustainability initiatives.
Local education
From new libraries and running tracks to playgrounds and sports equipment — we’ve supported schools and young people across the regions where we operate.
Charity
We support a range of charities that are important to our residents, our staff and our partners.
Local Sports
Over the years we’ve sponsored local sports teams with financial donations and new kits — because thriving communities need more than just good homes.
Clothes Banks
We are well aware of the impact human activity has on the environment and are always looking at our practices and processes to improve our green credentials and commit to a clear future. In 2019, we partnered with White Rose, who take unwanted clothes and resell or recycle them to reduce landfill. In 2022, we offset 24,070kg of Co2 emissions and generated £36,778 for charity.
Young People
Through our partnership with the Outward Bound Trust, we help young people build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills in the Lake District. Because investing in the next generation matters.
