The case for Ashford is hard to argue with
Ashford does not shout about itself the way some Kent towns do, but the numbers make a compelling case on its behalf. Average house prices sit around £316,000, making it one of the more affordable towns of its size in the county. Three-bedroom houses start from around £240,000 in parts of the town. And the train from Ashford International into London St Pancras, on the high-speed Javelin service, takes 37 minutes. That combination of price and connectivity is rare, and it explains why Ashford has consistently attracted first-time buyers who have done their research.
The town itself has grown substantially over the past fifteen years, with investment in housing, retail, and leisure that has changed the offer considerably. The Designer Outlet, the expanding employment base, and a series of new residential developments on the edges of the town have all contributed to a place that functions well as a long-term base rather than just a stepping stone.
