Buying in Matching Green
Matching Green is one of those Essex villages that genuinely stops people in their tracks. The village green is one of the largest in the county, lined with period cottages and older homes that rarely come to market. It sits between Harlow, Ongar and North Weald — rural enough to feel properly remote, but with good road links to the M11 and A414.
The character of the housing stock here matters when it comes to mortgages. Older and period properties can attract more scrutiny from lenders — some are cautious about non-standard construction, thatched roofs, or properties without recent surveys. A specialist broker knows which lenders are comfortable with village properties and which to avoid. Also worth a look nearby: Ongar and North Weald.
