About

Park Farm is a residential neighbourhood located on the eastern side of Ashford. The area is primarily characterised by modern housing developments, including a mix of private and social housing built from the late 20th century onward. Its layout features numerous cul-de-sacs and green open spaces interspersed between the homes. The area is served by local convenience stores and has good road access to the town centre and the M20 motorway.

A central feature is the large Park Farm Community Centre, which acts as a local hub. The area includes several playing fields and a children's playground, providing recreational space. The presence of the Park Farm Oast, a converted hop-drying kiln now used as a commercial building, reflects the area's agricultural past before its development. Public footpaths connect the estate to surrounding countryside and the Great Stour river.
