LOCATION.Ashford is located in the London Borough of Spelthorne approximately 17 miles (27 km) west of Central London and 3 miles (5 km) south of Heathrow Airport. The town has a resident population of 27,382 (2011 Census).Ashford benefits from excellent communication links being situated 4 miles (6.5 km) east of junction 13 of the M25 motorway. The town is also 2 miles (3 km) west of junction 1 of the M3 motorway and 5 miles (8km) south of junction 3 of the M4 motorway.
Ashford railway station provides direct rail services to London Waterloo with a fastest journey time of approximately 38 minutes. The Heathrow Express service at terminal 4 offers direct services to London Paddington with a fastest journey time of 15 minutes.
The local economy is dominated by the close proximity of London Heathrow Airport. In 2015 the Airports Commission recommended the expansion of Heathrow with a third runway. Whilst the location of the new runway will not impact on the property its proposed construction is likely to have significant positive economic benefits to the town.
