Fordcombe Conservation Area covers some 5.1 hectares and contains 11 listed buildings. It was designated in 1978 and has not been extended since then. It includes St Peter’s Church, the primary school and playing field, the cricket pavilion and pitch, the Green, the Chafford Arms public house and the residential properties in the centre of the village.
The Conservation Area lies entirely within the Green Belt, the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Special Landscape Area.
The hamlet is surrounded by agricultural land, some woodland, and to the north east is Chafford House, which was once the principal house in the area.
