Ashford, one of Kent's designated growth centres, currently has a population of approximately 75,000 inhabitants and is set to grow substantially in the next 20 years. The town is centrally located within the county, benefitting from a fine communications network via the A20/M20 and five mainline railways. Ashford International Passenger station can give direct access to northern continental Europe via Eurostar and London is some 38 minutes distant via HS-1. This building of steel portal frame construction provides a little under 4,600 sq.ft of accommodation.

The building has an eaves height of 11ft 6in rising to an apex of 15ft 7in. WC facilities are provided externally in a separate building, with each tenant on the estate having their own WC which along with the other security on the estate is controlled via proximity access swipes. Whilst this unit is available as a whole it could be split to provide two separate units.
