Recent market data highlights a surge in village and commuter-belt demand, a positive outlook for both buyers and sellers, and sustainable annual growth as Ashford remains more affordable than many South East hotspots[3][4].
Ashford Town
Ashford’s centre buzzes with independent shops and high street favourites at County Square, lively markets in the pedestrian precinct, and the expansive McArthurGlen Designer Outlet. Green spaces like Victoria Park, Conningbrook Lakes, and award-winning Memorial Gardens offer tranquil escapes. The town’s café and food scene is growing, mixing Kentish produce with world flavours.
The town is bordered by classic Kent villages—Wye, Great Chart, Mersham—each with their own charm. Extensive events, festivals, and a thriving arts centre at Revelation St Mary’s make Ashford a real destination for families and culture lovers.
With new development, exciting community projects, and superb access to Kent and London, Ashford’s appeal keeps growing year on year.
Transport
Travel is one of Ashford’s great strengths. High Speed 1 rail services run from Ashford International to London St Pancras in just 38 minutes, with connections to Paris and Brussels. Direct trains also serve Canterbury, Maidstone, Folkestone, Dover and surrounding villages. Buses run extensively across the borough, and major roads—M20, A20, A28 and the Ring Road—place Ashford at Kent’s crossroads[7][10][13].
Taxis, car hire, and cycle routes further boost connectivity, making Ashford ideal for commuters, families and explorers alike.
Education
Ashford offers a rich selection of schools: two ‘Good’ grammar schools, 53 highly-rated primaries and secondaries, plus independent choices like Ashford School (0–18) and the landmark Chilmington Green School[8][11][17]. Ashford College provides both traditional and vocational courses, supporting thousands of young people and adults with state-of-the-art facilities[20].
Many schools benefit from outstanding Ofsted reports, specialist pathways and community involvement, making the town popular for families keen on quality lifelong learning.
