Summary - GREENSIDE MATCHING GREEN HARLOW CM17 0PR
4 bed 3 bath House
Spacious historic family home with large garden and integral garage.
Four double bedrooms plus large dressing room and en-suite
This Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage sits prominently on Matching Green, combining 16th-century charm with substantial living space. Period details are extensive: inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, a part-thatched roof and original proportions create memorable, characterful rooms. The house is very large throughout (approx. 3,138 sq ft) and includes a conservatory, study, dining room and two staircases leading to distinct bedroom suites.
The principal suite occupies one end of the house and includes a generous dressing room, en-suite bathroom and large storeroom. Three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the other wing, making the layout well suited to family living or flexible working from home. Outside, a very large established garden wraps to the side, with mature planting, a pond, patio and an integral double garage reached via a gravel driveway.
Practical considerations are significant: listed status will restrict alterations and the thatched roof and historic fabric demand specialist maintenance. Broadband is slow and there is no mobile signal at the property, which may affect remote working or connectivity. The area records higher crime levels locally and council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should factor in ongoing running costs and potential repair or conservation expenditure.
For the right buyer this is a rare rural family home with history and scale — excellent for those seeking character, generous rooms and outdoor space — but it suits purchasers prepared to manage listed-property responsibilities and invest in long-term maintenance.
