Goat Lees

Goat Lees is a residential area situated to the north of Ashford town centre. It is primarily composed of housing estates, including a mix of private and social homes built from the mid-20th century onwards. The ward is bordered by the A28 Canterbury Road and includes the local amenities of the Goat Lees Community Centre. Residential streets are generally quiet, with green spaces like the playing fields at the northern edge providing recreational areas for residents.

A notable local feature is the presence of the Stour Centre, a major leisure complex with swimming pools and a gym, which lies just outside the ward's southern boundary. The area is served by several local shops and takeaways clustered around the main roads. Public transport links connect Goat Lees to the town centre and wider borough, with housing patterns showing a range of property types from semi-detached homes to smaller terraces.
