Ashford sits at the gateway to the Garden of England, where the international station brings a cosmopolitan edge to this historic market town. The surrounding countryside is rich with barn conversions, oast houses, and period farmhouses, while the town itself has seen significant modern development including the Designer Outlet quarter and new family housing estates.
