Matthews Benjamin has earned an excellent reputation based on trust, expertise and care, developed from a family business we are an independent estate agent, employing local people with an extensive knowledge and love of the local area. Matthews Benjamin originally opened in Windermere with subsequent expansion following the opening of our Ambleside office, securing a superb base for practicing in the central and southern Lake District. The company expanded further in 2006 when we took the opportunity of accepting an invitation to join the prestigious Fine & Country network, representing the brand across the Lake District and North Lancashire.
