Matfield House

Welcome to Matfield House

A charming Georgian house built by Thomas and Mary Marchant in 1728. Matfield is of one of those late Stuart and early Georgian houses typically the homes of village magnates, well-to-do farmers, merchants and small landowners, and represents a perfect example of such.

Matfield is home to the Garthwaite family, who extend a warm welcome to anyone wishing to visit as part of a small group.

There has been much work done on the house and more being done in the gardens at present - with one or two progressive twists to make what is a family home more suited to modern living - we think it shows what can be done with a Grade 1 listed building and it is our pleasure to show people around.

We cater for groups up to 16 people.

April to September, Tuesday - Thursday (incl) - by appointment only. Admission price £15 per person. We can cater for groups of around 16 people and though we don't require a minimum number, there is a minimum charge of £150. Please contact us in advance to arrange your visit.

The admission price includes a cream tea in the family kitchen and/or garden depending on the weather, therefore we feel it is a suitable venue for relaxed family outings and smaller interested parties. No indoor photography.
